Missing authentication on network terminal endpoints gives unauthenticated low-complexity RCE (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); full OS command execution yields C:H/I:H/A:H, no scope change.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Hermes WebUI before 0.51.788 contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands by accessing the embedded terminal API endpoints without credentials. Attackers can create a session, attach a PTY shell, and write arbitrary commands through the terminal input endpoint to achieve full command execution as the server process user via four sequential unauthenticated HTTP requests.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote code execution in Hermes WebUI before version 0.51.788 lets remote attackers run arbitrary shell commands by reaching the product's embedded terminal API without any credentials. Because of a missing authentication check (CWE-306), an attacker chains four sequential unauthenticated HTTP requests to create a session, attach a PTY shell, and inject commands, executing code as the server process user. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the Hermes WebUI HTTP service and access to its embedded terminal API endpoints (the session-create, PTY-attach, and terminal-input endpoints); no credentials, tokens, or user interaction are needed, matching AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All available signals point to genuine high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach a Hermes WebUI instance over the network sends an unauthenticated request to create a terminal session, a second to attach a PTY shell, and then writes shell commands to the terminal input endpoint, gaining command execution as the web server process user. Because no credentials, user interaction, or elevated privileges are needed and complexity is low, an internet-exposed instance could be compromised by a simple automated script; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: v0.51.788 - upgrade Hermes WebUI to 0.51.788 or later, which is the primary and authoritative fix (release: https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui/releases/tag/v0.51.788, patch commit d257e5f36cfa9328600c8bde6f0de09a6ad9b6f4, PR 5268). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
