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.
