Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability exists in Hermes WebUI's workspace file and listing APIs due to improper link resolution (CWE-59). The 'safe_resolve_ws' function failed to verify that a resolved symlink target remained within the designated workspace root, relying instead on a limited system-directory denylist. An authenticated attacker can create or provide a workspace containing symlinks pointing to sensitive host locations (e.g., ~/.ssh). When these paths are accessed via the WebUI or LLM agent tool calls, the server discloses the contents of the external files. Additionally, a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use) race condition was identified where a symlink could be swapped after validation but before file access. The issue is fixed in v0.51.221 by implementing anchored file operations and strict path containment checks.
