Unknown · Hermes-Webui · CVE-2026-55196
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Hermes WebUI versions prior to 0.51.409
**Description**
An authentication bypass exists in passkey registration endpoints. When `HERMES WEBUI PASSKEY=1` is enabled and no credentials exist, unauthenticated remote attackers can register arbitrary passkeys. This occurs because the endpoints 'POST /api/auth/passkey/register/options' and 'POST /api/auth/passkey/register' are accessible without authentication, potentially allowing an attacker to claim the first passkey and obtain permanent administrative control.
**Recommendations**
Update to version 0.51.409 or later.
