CVE-2026-55205
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Hermes WebUI before 0.51.468 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in the unauthenticated POST /api/onboarding/oauth/start endpoint that allows unbounded accumulation of in-memory flow state and daemon threads. Attackers can send repeated or concurrent requests to exhaust server memory and thread resources, potentially triggering repeated outbound device-code requests to upstream OAuth providers.
