AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability affects versions before 0.51.443, upgrading to version 0.51.443 or later may address the issue if an official fix is released. Until then, restrict access to the /api/session endpoint and monitor for suspicious activity involving session_id parameters.

Description

Hermes WebUI before 0.51.443 contains a broken access control vulnerability in the /api/session endpoint that allows authenticated users to disclose cross-profile session transcripts. Attackers can bypass profile boundary checks by directly querying session IDs belonging to other profiles via GET /api/session?session_id=<foreign_id>&messages=1 to retrieve unauthorized conversation transcripts and metadata.
