Sources and claim methodology

Upstream source description

Hermes WebUI before 0.51.368 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the get_profile_cookie() function that accepts unauthenticated profile names from the hermes_profile cookie. An authenticated attacker can forge the hermes_profile cookie value to bypass profile-scoped authorization checks and access sessions, files, and resources across different profiles.
