Hermes Agent - PKCE Session Takeover via Redirect-URI Parser Confusion Note: Another researcher identified the same vulnerability during the disclosure process with the Nous Researcher team.In Hermes Agent, the public GET /auth/native/authorize flow validates the redirect_uri with Python's urllib.parse.urlparse, then hands the raw, unnormalized value back to the browser after authentication.The two parsers treat backslashes differently. Python's parser and the browser's WHATWG parser therefore …
Hermes Agent - Pre-Authentication Disk Consumption In Hermes Agent the public POST /auth/password-login route copies the client-supplied provider value, with no size limit, into the audit log before rejecting an unknown provider.Because the middleware treats this route as public, an unauthenticated client with no account can cause arbitrarily large, attacker-controlled data to be written persistently to the server's disk.In hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/routes.py, _PasswordLoginBody.provider is dec…
Hermes Agent - Pre-Authentication Memory Exhaustion In Hermes Agent the dashboard's public authentication routes (/auth/native/token, /auth/native/refresh, and /auth/password-login) read and parse the entire JSON request body before any authentication check, with no application-level size limit.The gated_auth_middleware in hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/middleware.py lets these paths through via _GATE_PUBLIC_PREFIXES before checking for a session. The handlers in routes.py rely on Pydantic models wh…
WordPress - Post Author Second Order SQLi A regression was introduced in version 4.0.0 of WP Post Author, the multi-authors module stores the co-author list in the wpma_author post meta and later interpolates each stored value directly into a SQL query. Neither end of that path is safe.On write, awpa_ma_save_metabox() takes $_POST['wpma_metabox_authors_list'], splits it on commas, and stores each element verbatim. The handler computes a sanitized copy and then stores the raw value instead:// in…
WordPress - Post Author Authenticated SQLi Two REST handlers build SQL queries by concatenating client-supplied request parameters straight into the query string. There is no $wpdb->prepare(), no esc_like(), and no whitelisting. The only processing applied is sanitize_text_field(), which trims whitespace and strips tags and control characters. It does not escape quotes and offers no protection against SQL injection.// includes/api-request/free/multi-authors/class-multiauthors.php — awpa_list_gu…
