📛 CVE Title

Any authenticated user with access to a configured terminal server could cause script in a previewed file to run in the Open WebUI origin, read the victim's session token from localStorage, and take over the account, with possible server-side code execution if the victim was an admin or held workspace.functions. This issue is fixed in 0.11.0.
