Cross-profile file disclosure via unset session ownership
Published Jun 30, 2026 · Updated Jun 30, 2026
Authorization bypass in Hermes WebUI before 0.51.521 allows attackers to read files from another profile's workspace. The /api/session/import handler validates a named-profile workspace but creates the Session without a profile, persisting it as default-owned. An attacker able to import under a named profile and issue default-profile requests can export its transcript or reuse its identifier to read workspace files.
