Description
Hermes WebUI before 0.51.443 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in the session export endpoint that allows authenticated users to access sessions from other profiles. The _handle_session_export handler in api/routes.py fails to verify active-profile ownership before serializing session data, enabling attackers to exfiltrate foreign session transcripts by guessing or knowing session identifiers.
