just because it's self hosted doesn't mean it's all private though.

OWUI is built using node libraries which typically has a large attack surface. wouldn't be surprised if some illicit group figures this out and tries to activate something for a mitm attack that sniffs out prompts for things like keys, tokens, etc.

don't confuse selfhosted with privacy. it's still your responsibility to ensure privacy enforcement.

trust nothing, verify everything.
