CVE-2026-6832
Nesquena Hermes WebUI Arbitrary File Deletion via Unvalidated session_id
Description

Hermes WebUI contains an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the /api/session/delete endpoint that allows authenticated attackers to delete files outside the session directory by supplying an absolute path or path traversal payload in the session_id parameter. Attackers can exploit unvalidated session identifiers to construct paths that bypass the SESSION_DIR boundary and delete writable JSON files on the host system.

Solution
Sanitize session IDs to prevent path traversal and arbitrary file deletion.
  • Validate and sanitize all user-supplied session identifiers.
  • Ensure session IDs do not allow directory traversal.
  • Restrict file operations to the intended directory.
  • Implement robust input validation for API endpoints.
