Closes #1377.

GET /v1/audio/voices is registered with no authorizer and no tenant voice gate on purpose. Open WebUI's voice dropdowns fetch it with no Authorization header at all, and gating it silently reinstates the hardcoded alloy-style fallback list that issue #996 was closed to prevent. The comment above registerAudioVoicesRoute says exactly that.

It was gated anyway, one layer out, which is what the issue reports and what a plain curl on the box showed.

authSelectorMiddleware wraps the whole mux and intercepts every path under /v1/. auth.Selector routes to the API-key handler only when Authorization carries a Bearer hk_ credential, and sends everything else, a request with no Authorization header included, to the JWT middleware, which answers 401 before the mux is ever reached. So an unauthenticated registration cannot take effect while JWT auth is configured, which it is on the box.

The fix

The same mechanism PR #1730 used for GET /v1/tools, because it is the same defect. The path becomes one constant, audioVoicesPath, named at registration and again in the exemption, so the two cannot drift apart and leave a route registered and unreachable a second time. The exemption itself is one added path in the existing condition.

It stays exact path and exact method, compared by equality rather than by prefix. The three audio routes one segment away all spend credits and keep their authentication, as do the two web tool call routes, /v1/chat/completions, and any non-GET to either exempt path.

Tests

One table, TestAuthSelectorExemptions, carrying the whole exemption set: both exempt routes and every negative case for both. It drives the real authSelectorMiddleware construction that main() performs, with a JWT stand-in that always 401s, so reaching the mux can only happen through the exemption.

The negatives are the half the issue asks for by name, that no other /v1/ path gained an exemption. They cover the three neighbouring audio routes that spend credits, the two web tool call routes, chat completions, a non-GET and a HEAD to each exempt path, and the shapes an exemption written with a prefix match or a cleaned path would let through: a traversal onto the speech route, a trailing slash, a suffix, a doubled slash, a case variant.

Three positive cases pin the decoded-path semantics. The comparison is against r.URL.Path, which is already decoded, so /v1/%61udio/voices and /v1/audio/voice%73 are exempt too, and /v1/audio%2fvoices is exempt at the middleware and a 404 at the mux. They are asserted as exempt because that is what the middleware does; asserting them as gated would claim a stricter rule than the code implements. None of them reaches a different route and none reaches a credit-spending one.

A second test joins the two halves. It drives the real registerAudioVoicesRoute onto a real ServeMux, wraps it in the real middleware, and reads the body. Neither existing test would have caught this issue: the route-matrix tests prove the path is registered and the middleware tests prove a request gets past, and #1377 is exactly the shape of a defect that hides between the two.

The Go review pointed out that this arrived as two tests each naming itself the complete exemption set, one of which PR #1730 had written and this change had quietly falsified. Both are now the single table above, and the web tools file keeps its reachability test plus a note saying where the other half went.

The #996 guard in scripts/test_owui_rag_env_config.py pinned the literal mux.Handle("/v1/audio/voices", ...), so naming the path as a constant read as a regression and turned the repo policy lints red. It now checks the thing it was protecting: the constant carries the path, the registration serves it with VoicesHandler, and the exemption still names it. That third assertion is new and is the half this issue exists for, since a registration with no exemption is inert while looking correct in a diff.

Verified red before the change and green after, and mutation tested twice. Dropping the roster from the exemption turns the roster case, the end-to-end test and the new guard assertion red while every other case stays green. Swapping the equality for a prefix match turns the traversal, trailing slash and suffix cases red. Whole package passes, gofmt -l clean, go vet clean.

Security review

An independent adversarial review was run against the pushed diff, since this widens an authentication exemption. Verdict: sound, no critical, high or medium findings.

It probed twenty one URL variants against a real ServeMux replica of the chain, covering traversal, percent-encoded separators, doubled slashes, trailing slash, ..;/, and case. No variant reaches a credit-spending route: the comparison is equality on the decoded r.URL.Path, and the two shapes that do match the exemption resolve to the voice roster itself or to a 404 at the mux. The handler serves six static id and name pairs with no database call, no upstream call and no per-caller cost, so it is not an amplification lever, and it names no provider, model or price.

Two gaps it named in the tests are closed in this branch: the missing end-to-end assertion through the real registration, and the missing traversal, case and HEAD negatives. The percent-encoded cases arrived later, in review, and are described above; they are positive rather than negative, because the decoded comparison admits them. One comment it flagged as imprecise is corrected.

…issue #1377)

registerAudioVoicesRoute attaches audio.VoicesHandler() straight onto the
mux with no authorizer and no tenant voice gate, deliberately: Open WebUI's
voice dropdowns fetch GET /v1/audio/voices with no Authorization header at
all, and gating it silently reinstates the hardcoded alloy-style fallback
list that issue #996 exists to prevent.

It was gated anyway, one layer out. authSelectorMiddleware wraps the whole
mux and intercepts every path under /v1/, and auth.Selector routes to the
API-key handler only when Authorization carries a Bearer hk_ credential.
Everything else, a request with no Authorization header included, goes to
the JWT middleware, which answers 401 before the mux is ever reached. So
the unauthenticated registration could not take effect while JWT auth is
configured, which it is on the box, and a plain curl there answered
UNAUTHENTICATED.

This is the same defect PR #1730 fixed for GET /v1/tools, and it takes the
same mechanism: the path is named once as a constant, used at registration
and again in the exemption, so the two cannot drift apart and leave a route
registered and unreachable a second time.

The exemption stays exact path and exact method. The three audio routes one
segment away all spend credits and keep their authentication, as do the two
web tool call routes and any non-GET to either exempt path, which each
handler answers 405 for itself.

…1377)

The exemption itself is unchanged. What was missing was proof that it
stays narrow and proof that the two halves of the fix work together.

Negative cases now cover the shapes an exemption written with a prefix
match or a cleaned path would let through: a traversal back onto the
credit-spending speech route, a doubled slash, a case variant, HEAD, and
POST /v1/chat/completions. Each is a different string from the constant,
so each stays gated; naming them is what turns a later rewrite to prefix
matching red instead of letting it silently open a paid route.

The new end-to-end test drives the real registerAudioVoicesRoute onto a
real ServeMux, wraps it in the real authSelectorMiddleware, sends the
request Open WebUI sends, and reads the body. Neither of the existing
tests would have caught this issue: the route-matrix tests prove the path
is registered and the middleware tests prove a request gets past, and
#1377 is exactly the shape of a defect that hides between the two. It
also fails if the roster ever comes back empty, which is the state that
sends the dropdown to the hardcoded fallback list of issue #996.

One comment corrected while here. An uncredentialed non-GET to either
exempt path is refused at the JWT path, not by the handler's own 405,
which answers a credentialed caller.

Go review (adversarial pass, idiom and test quality)

Read only pass over git diff origin/main...HEAD. I did not re-litigate the exemption width, which the security review already cleared. Verdict up front: the change is sound and I found no critical or high issue. Two mediums, both cosmetic in effect rather than behavioural, plus a few nits.

Verified in the toolchain container, not by inspection alone:

  • go vet ./apps/edge-api/cmd/server/ is clean, and the three new tests plus the existing webtools and route matrix tests pass.
  • Mutation one, deleting || r.URL.Path == audioVoicesPath from the condition: all three new tests fail, including TestVoiceRosterServesTheRealRosterWithNoCredential with 401.
  • Mutation two, replacing the equality with strings.HasPrefix(r.URL.Path, audioVoicesPath): the gated loop fails on /v1/audio/voices/, /v1/audio/voicesx and /v1/audio/voices/../speech.

So these tests can go red for the reason they claim, which is the main thing I wanted to establish.

1. The new constant severed the function's doc comment. MEDIUM

apps/edge-api/cmd/server/main.go:943-957

The const was inserted between the existing registerAudioVoicesRoute doc comment and the function, with no blank line, so godoc now reads all thirteen lines as documentation of audioVoicesPath, and registerAudioVoicesRoute at line 957 has no doc comment at all. The paragraph about issue #1079 and route_matrix_guard_test.go is documenting a string constant it has nothing to do with.

Fix, move the constant above the function's own comment:

// audioVoicesPath is the voice roster route. One constant, for the same reason
// webToolsListPath below is one: ...
const audioVoicesPath = "/v1/audio/voices"

// registerAudioVoicesRoute attaches GET /v1/audio/voices. Extracted (issue
// #1079 ...) so route_matrix_guard_test.go can register it in isolation ...
func registerAudioVoicesRoute(mux httpMux) {

Worth noting that webToolsListPath at main.go:962-970 has a milder version of the same wart, since the registerWebToolRoutes comment there is separated from its function by the const block and so is a floating comment. Fixing both in this PR is a two line move and stops the pattern being copied a third time.

2. The new test file restates two existing tests. MEDIUM

apps/edge-api/cmd/server/audio_voices_auth_test.go:32 and :70 against apps/edge-api/cmd/server/webtools_list_auth_test.go:24 and :56

Three overlaps:

  • TestVoiceRosterIsReachableWithoutACredential (line 32) is TestDescriptorListIsReachableWithoutACredential with the path swapped, and it is already fully covered twice over in the same file, by the exempt table entry at line 77 and by TestVoiceRosterServesTheRealRosterWithNoCredential at line 169, which asserts a 200 body through the real middleware. Three tests, one fact.
  • TestOnlyTheTwoPublicReadsAreExemptFromAuth (line 70) and TestOnlyTheDescriptorListIsExemptFromAuth (webtools file, line 56) both claim to enumerate the complete exemption set. Two tests whose names are mutually exclusive claims is the maintenance trap: adding a third exempt path requires editing both, and whichever is missed goes on passing while its name is now false.
  • The new gated table quietly drops four cases the webtools table has: POST webToolsListPath, DELETE webToolsListPath, GET webToolsListPath + "/" and GET webToolsListPath + "x". That is fine while both files exist, and it is a coverage hole the moment someone deletes the older file as redundant, which is the natural reaction to reading these two side by side.

Fix: collapse to one table in one route neutral file, for example rename to public_v1_reads_auth_test.go, delete TestVoiceRosterIsReachableWithoutACredential and both tests in webtools_list_auth_test.go, and carry the union of the cases. One table with a wantExempt bool column reads better than two tables and removes the possibility of the two loops' assertions drifting apart:

cases := []struct {
	method     string
	path       string
	wantExempt bool
}{
	{http.MethodGet, audioVoicesPath, true},
	{http.MethodGet, webToolsListPath, true},
	{http.MethodPost, "/v1/audio/speech", false},
	// ... every case from both current tables
}

3. The two loops duplicate their closure setup verbatim. MEDIUM to LOW

apps/edge-api/cmd/server/audio_voices_auth_test.go:109-158

The exempt and gated loops rebuild identical jwtMW and next closures, thirteen lines each, and webtools_list_auth_test.go has a third copy. Extract one helper and the loop bodies become three lines:

// exercise drives the real authSelectorMiddleware and reports where the
// request landed.
func exercise(method, path string) (jwtInvoked, reachedMux bool) {
	jwtMW := func(http.Handler) http.Handler {
		return http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
			jwtInvoked = true
			w.WriteHeader(http.StatusUnauthorized)
		})
	}
	next := http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, _ *http.Request) {
		reachedMux = true
		w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
	})
	authSelectorMiddleware(jwtMW, next).ServeHTTP(httptest.NewRecorder(), httptest.NewRequest(method, path, nil))
	return
}

While you are there, wrap each case in t.Run(tc.method+" "+tc.path, ...). Today a failure is one t.Errorf line among many in a single test name, and the subtest name is free.

Related nit at lines 73 and 81: the anonymous struct type is written twice. One named type, or the single table above, removes that.

4. The two path || is the right shape. No change requested

apps/edge-api/cmd/server/main.go:1510

At two entries, a set or a helper predicate would be more machinery than the comparison it replaces, and the equality semantics are visible at the call site, which is exactly what you want on an authentication bypass. Keep it. If a third path ever arrives, that is the moment to promote it to a package level map[string]struct{} beside the two constants, in one move rather than pre building for it now.

The comment above the condition is the part that grew, twenty eight lines for one if. Not a defect, and the history it carries is genuinely useful, but if a third path lands the comment is what will need restructuring, not the code.

5. The JSON assertion is coupled correctly, with one dead field. LOW

apps/edge-api/cmd/server/audio_voices_auth_test.go:189-205

Checked against apps/edge-api/internal/audio/handler_voices.go:47-53, which writes map[string]any{"voices": orpheusVoices} where voiceEntry is tagged id and name. The anonymous struct matches, and it survives the refactors that matter: renaming the key turns the length check red, returning a bare array turns the unmarshal red, dropping the ids turns the loop red. It is coupled to the wire contract that Open WebUI's dropdown actually parses, which is the right thing to couple to.

Two small points. Name at line 192 is decoded and never asserted, so either drop it or assert it non-empty, since the dropdown labels with that field. And do not let this assertion grow into a content check: the roster contents are already pinned in apps/edge-api/internal/audio/handler_voices_test.go:25-35 and read again in voice_compat_test.go:38, so this one should stay a reachability test. Related, the comment at line 200 invokes issue #996, but a handler that served the alloy list verbatim would pass here. That guard belongs in the audio package, and it is already there.

6. Flakiness, ordering, silent green. None found

t.Setenv("OWUI_SHIM_KEY", "") at lines 33, 71 and 170 is necessary rather than decorative, because authSelectorMiddleware reads the variable at construction time (main.go:1462-1464) and would otherwise wire a live OWUI unwrap layer from the ambient environment. t.Setenv restores on cleanup and makes the test refuse t.Parallel, neither of which these tests fight. Every case builds its own middleware, recorder and closures, so there is no shared state, no goroutine, no timer and no network. The mutation results above confirm the assertions are load bearing.

One genuine observation on the gated table rather than a defect: {http.MethodHead, audioVoicesPath} at line 90 is a good case to have, and it is safe precisely because the middleware runs ahead of the mux, so Go's HEAD handling never enters the picture. Worth half a line of comment if you touch the table anyway.

Summary

Approve on the Go. Item 1 is a two line move I would take in this PR. Item 2 is the one worth an actual decision, since leaving both files means two tests that each claim to be the complete list of unauthenticated routes.

From the Go review. The exemption itself is unchanged.

The constant had been inserted between registerAudioVoicesRoute's doc
comment and the function, so godoc attached the issue #1079 paragraph to
the constant and left the function undocumented. The constant now sits
above that comment with a blank line between them.

The bigger point was two tests each naming themselves the complete
exemption set. TestOnlyTheDescriptorListIsExemptFromAuth was true when
PR #1730 wrote it and became false the moment this change exempted a
second route, and false in the direction that still passes, since its
table simply does not mention the voice roster. Rather than leave a
stale claim next to a fresh one, both move into one table,
TestAuthSelectorExemptions, which carries both exempt routes and every
negative case for both. The web tools file keeps its reachability test
and a note saying where the other half went and why it moved.

Three copies of the same middleware closure setup collapse into one
helper, exerciseAuthSelector, and the cases run under t.Run so a failure
names itself.

The real-roster test drops the Name field it decoded and never asserted,
and its comment now says plainly what it does not guard: the roster's
contents are pinned in internal/audio/handler_voices_test.go, so a
hardcoded fallback list would satisfy this test. It guards against no
roster, not against the wrong one.

Verified the consolidated table can still go red: with the voice roster
removed from the exemption, the roster case and the end-to-end test both
fail and every other case stays green. Whole package passes, gofmt and
go vet clean.

Thanks, and thank you for mutation testing it rather than reading it. All three findings are addressed in the commit above.

Finding 1, godoc attachment: fixed. The constant sat between registerAudioVoicesRoute's doc comment and the function, so godoc attached the issue #1079 paragraph to the constant and left the function undocumented. The constant now sits above that comment with a blank line between them. I left webToolsListPath alone: it has the milder version of the same wart, but it is not this pull request's line and moving it would put an unrelated hunk in an auth diff.

Finding 2, competing completeness claims: fixed, and this was the right catch. TestOnlyTheDescriptorListIsExemptFromAuth was true when PR #1730 wrote it and became false the moment this change exempted a second route. False in the direction that still passes, too, since its table simply never mentions the voice roster. Both halves now live in one table, TestAuthSelectorExemptions, which carries both exempt routes and every negative case for both, including the four web tools cases my table had dropped. The web tools file keeps its reachability test and a note saying where the other half went and why it moved rather than gaining a neighbour: the claim is about the middleware, not about either route.

Finding 3, duplicated closure setup: fixed. One exerciseAuthSelector helper, used by the table and by the web tools reachability test, with the cases under t.Run so a failure names itself.

Finding 4: agreed, no change. Two paths is not a set yet.

Finding 5: fixed. The Name field it decoded and never asserted is gone. More usefully, your point that the issue #996 comment overpromised is right, so the comment now says plainly what the test does not guard: the roster's contents are pinned in internal/audio/handler_voices_test.go, and a hardcoded fallback list would satisfy this test. It guards against no roster, not against the wrong one.

Finding 6: agreed. t.Setenv is load bearing and blocks parallelism deliberately.

I repeated your mutation check on the consolidated table. With the voice roster dropped from the exemption, the roster case and the end-to-end test both fail and every other case stays green. Whole package passes, gofmt and go vet clean.

The #996 guard in scripts/test_owui_rag_env_config.py pinned the literal
`mux.Handle("/v1/audio/voices", audio.VoicesHandler())`. Naming that path
as a constant, which is the whole mechanism of this fix, therefore read as
a regression and turned the repo policy lints red.

The guard now checks the thing it was protecting rather than the spelling
it happened to have. Three assertions: the constant carries the path, the
registration serves it with VoicesHandler, and the exemption in
authSelectorMiddleware still names it. That last one is new and is the
half #1377 exists for, since a registration with no exemption is inert and
the route answers 401 while looking correct in a diff.

Verified it can go red: with the roster removed from the exemption the
third assertion fails and names the issue.

Independent adversarial review: PR #1773

I did not write this change. Reviewed against origin/fix/1377-voices-unauthenticated in my own worktree, tracing the whole middleware stack from main() down to VoicesHandler, then mutation testing the exemption and probing it with fourteen encoded and dot-segment URL variants against a real ServeMux replica of the chain.

Verdict: sound. No blocking findings.

The exemption is the right shape and the tests are real regression guards rather than green paint. Two nits below, both about a claim being slightly wider than the code, neither worth holding the merge for.

What I verified rather than took on trust.

The exemption covers exactly one path and one method. TestAuthSelectorExemptions drives the real authSelectorMiddleware with a JWT stand-in, so reachedMux is a statement about the exemption and not about any handler behind it.

Both mutations the body claims go red, do go red. Dropping audioVoicesPath from the condition fails the roster case and the end to end test:

--- FAIL: TestAuthSelectorExemptions/the_voice_roster,_unauthenticated
    GET /v1/audio/voices was sent to the JWT path, where a missing bearer is a 401
--- FAIL: TestVoiceRosterServesTheRealRosterWithNoCredential
    GET /v1/audio/voices with no credential answered 401, want 200

Swapping the equality for strings.HasPrefix fails exactly the three cases written to catch it, traversal, trailing slash and suffix, and nothing else. So the negatives are not decoration.

Nothing tenant specific leaks. VoicesHandler writes six compiled in id and name pairs from orpheusVoices, with no database call, no upstream call, no per caller cost and no provider or price named, so it is neither a data leak nor an amplification lever.

Nothing else is skipped by the early return. The exempt request still passes through CompatHeaders, InstrumentHandler, budgetGate.Wrap and UnsupportedEndpointMiddleware before it reaches the mux, because budgetGate is applied inside authSelectorMiddleware at apps/edge-api/cmd/server/main.go:735-740. The only thing the exemption removes is the auth selector itself, which is the intent.

One observation that is out of scope, recorded so it is not rediscovered

//v1/audio/voices does not start with /v1/, so it fails the prefix test one line above the changed condition and bypasses the selector entirely, landing on the mux, which answers 307 to the cleaned path. The same is true of //v1/audio/speech. This is pre-existing, predates both this change and PR #1730, and is not a hole: a redirect carries no data and the client's follow up request is authenticated normally. Mentioning it only because it sits directly above the code under review and a future reader tracing this exemption will hit it.

…#1377)

Two review findings, both about the gap between what the comment claimed
and what the code does.

The comparison is against r.URL.Path, which net/http has already decoded,
so the exemption is not quite "one literal string". /v1/%61udio/voices and
/v1/audio/voice%73 decode to the exempt path and are exempt. That is
harmless rather than merely tolerable: net/http decodes the same way
before matching, so every spelling that clears the check lands on the same
static handler. The one divergence is /v1/audio%2fvoices, exempt at the
middleware and a 404 at the mux, since an encoded separator matches no
registered pattern. No encoded form reaches a different route and none
reaches a credit-spending one.

The comment said the comparison is by equality rather than prefix, which
is true of traversals and extra segments and is what a reader would
generalise into "only the literal string". It now says what the decoded
comparison actually admits, and points at the test that pins it.

Three cases join the table, asserted as exempt because that is what the
middleware does. Asserting them as gated would claim a stricter rule than
the code implements and would go red against correct code. If the
exemption is ever made strict about the raw spelling, the table is where
that change shows up.

This also closes a claim the pull request body made without evidence. It
said the security review's missing encoding negative was added; traversal,
case and HEAD were there and no percent-encoded case was, since the
doubled-slash entry is a literal rather than an encoded separator. The
body is corrected alongside this.

Whole package passes, gofmt and go vet clean.

GET /v1/audio/voices is 401 on the box despite being registered unauthenticated, so the OWUI dropdown still falls back
