CVE-2026-49407 Details
Description
OpenHuman is an open-source agent harness available as a desktop application and Rust library. Before version 0.57.44, its local /ws/dictation WebSocket endpoint lacks client authentication and browser-origin validation. An unauthenticated client, including a malicious web page able to reach the endpoint, can submit audio and trigger resource-intensive speech-to-text processing. Earlier affected versions also accumulate audio in an unbounded buffer, allowing continuous streaming to exhaust process memory. These conditions can degrade performance, exhaust resources, or crash the application. This issue is fixed in version 0.57.44.
A vulnerability exists in OpenHuman, an open-source agent harness, prior to version 0.57.44, within the local '/ws/dictation' WebSocket endpoint. This endpoint lacks client authentication and browser-origin validation, allowing an unauthenticated client or a malicious web page to send audio data. The application processes this audio with resource-intensive speech-to-text transcription. Additionally, earlier versions of the application failed to limit audio accumulation, leading to unbounded memory growth. These issues can significantly degrade application performance, exhaust system resources, or cause the application to crash.
Users can upgrade to OpenHuman version 0.57.44 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
