Security audit

Open WebUI

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a disclosed Open WebUI API helper that sends user-chosen prompts, files, and model-management requests to the configured Open WebUI instance.

Install this only if you want the agent to use your Open WebUI API token. Prefer a local or trusted HTTPS Open WebUI instance, review any request before uploading private files or using remote RAG, and confirm model deletion or large model pulls carefully.

MCP Least Privilege
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The skill clearly instructs the agent to use environment variables for authentication and to make outbound network requests to arbitrary Open WebUI instances, yet no explicit permission declaration is present. This creates a governance gap: an agent may access secrets and external services without transparent capability scoping or user-reviewable permission metadata.
