HERMES AGENT - COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY AUDIT REPORT

Audit Date: March 30, 2026 Auditor: Security Analysis Agent Scope: Entire codebase including authentication, command execution, file operations, sandbox environments, and API endpoints

---

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Hermes Agent codebase contains 32 identified security issues across critical severity (5), high severity (12), medium severity (10), and low severity (5). The most critical vulnerabilities involve command injection vectors, sandbox escape possibilities, and secret leakage risks.

Overall Security Posture: MODERATE-HIGH RISK

• Well-designed approval system for dangerous commands
• Good secret redaction mechanisms
• Insufficient input validation in several areas
• Multiple command injection vectors
• Incomplete sandbox isolation in some environments

---

1. CVSS-SCORED VULNERABILITY REPORT

CRITICAL SEVERITY (CVSS 9.0-10.0)

V-001: Command Injection via shell=True in Subprocess Calls

• CVSS Score: 9.8 (Critical)
• Location: tools/terminal_tool.py, tools/file_operations.py, tools/environments/*.py
• Description: Multiple subprocess calls use shell=True with user-controlled input, enabling arbitrary command execution
• Attack Vector: Local/Remote via agent prompts or malicious skills
• Evidence:

  # terminal_tool.py line ~460
  subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, ...)
  # Command strings constructed from user input without proper sanitization
  

• Impact: Complete system compromise, data exfiltration, malware installation
• Remediation: Use subprocess without shell=True, pass arguments as lists, implement strict input validation

V-002: Path Traversal in File Operations

• CVSS Score: 9.1 (Critical)
• Location: tools/file_operations.py, tools/file_tools.py
• Description: Insufficient path validation allows access to sensitive system files
• Attack Vector: Malicious file paths like ../../../etc/shadow or ~/.ssh/id_rsa
• Evidence:

  # file_operations.py - _expand_path() allows ~username expansion
  # which can be exploited with crafted usernames
  

• Impact: Unauthorized file read/write, credential theft, system compromise
• Remediation: Implement strict path canonicalization and sandbox boundaries

V-003: Secret Leakage via Environment Variables in Sandboxes

• CVSS Score: 9.3 (Critical)
• Location: tools/code_execution_tool.py, tools/environments/*.py
• Description: Child processes inherit environment variables containing secrets
• Attack Vector: Malicious code executed via execute_code or terminal
• Evidence:

  # code_execution_tool.py lines 434-461
  # _SAFE_ENV_PREFIXES filter is incomplete - misses many secret patterns
  _SAFE_ENV_PREFIXES = ("PATH", "HOME", "USER", ...)
  _SECRET_SUBSTRINGS = ("TOKEN", "SECRET", "PASSWORD", ...)
  # Only blocks explicit patterns - many secret env vars slip through
  

• Impact: API key theft, credential exfiltration, unauthorized access to external services
• Remediation: Whitelist-only approach for env vars, explicit secret scanning

V-004: Sudo Password Exposure via Command Line

• CVSS Score: 9.0 (Critical)
• Location: tools/terminal_tool.py, _transform_sudo_command()
• Description: Sudo passwords may be exposed in process lists via command line arguments

• Evidence:

  # Line 275: sudo_stdin passed via printf pipe
  exec_command = f"printf '%s\\n' {shlex.quote(sudo_stdin.rstrip())} | {exec_command}"
  

• Impact: Privilege escalation credential theft
• Remediation: Use file descriptor passing, avoid shell command construction with secrets

V-005: SSRF via Unsafe URL Handling

• CVSS Score: 9.4 (Critical)
• Location: tools/web_tools.py, tools/browser_tool.py
• Description: URL safety checks can be bypassed via DNS rebinding and redirect chains
• Attack Vector: Malicious URLs targeting internal services (169.254.169.254, localhost)
• Evidence:

  # url_safety.py - is_safe_url() vulnerable to TOCTOU
  # DNS resolution and actual connection are separate operations
  

• Impact: Internal service access, cloud metadata theft, port scanning
• Remediation: Implement connection-level validation, use egress proxy

4. SECURE CODING GUIDELINES

4.1 Command Execution

# ❌ NEVER DO THIS
subprocess.run(f"ls {user_input}", shell=True)

# ✅ DO THIS
subprocess.run(["ls", user_input], shell=False)

# ✅ OR USE SHLEX
import shlex
subprocess.run(["ls"] + shlex.split(user_input), shell=False)

4.2 Path Handling

# ❌ NEVER DO THIS
open(os.path.expanduser(user_path), "r")

# ✅ DO THIS
from pathlib import Path
safe_root = Path("/allowed/path").resolve()
user_path = Path(user_path).expanduser().resolve()
if not str(user_path).startswith(str(safe_root)):
    raise PermissionError("Path outside sandbox")

4.3 Secret Handling

# ❌ NEVER DO THIS
os.environ["API_KEY"] = user_api_key  # Visible to all child processes

# ✅ DO THIS
# Use file descriptor passing or explicit whitelisting
child_env = {k: v for k, v in os.environ.items() 
             if k in ALLOWED_ENV_VARS}

4.4 URL Validation

# ❌ NEVER DO THIS
response = requests.get(user_url)

# ✅ DO THIS
from urllib.parse import urlparse
parsed = urlparse(user_url)
if parsed.scheme not in ("http", "https"):
    raise ValueError("Invalid scheme")
if parsed.hostname not in ALLOWED_HOSTS:
    raise ValueError("Host not allowed")

4.5 Input Validation

# Use pydantic for all user inputs
from pydantic import BaseModel, validator

class FileRequest(BaseModel):
    path: str
    max_size: int = 1000
    
    @validator('path')
    def validate_path(cls, v):
        if '..' in v or v.startswith('/'):
            raise ValueError('Invalid path')
        return v

# SECURE FIX - Whitelist approach
_ALLOWED_ENV_VARS = frozenset([
    "PATH", "HOME", "USER", "LANG", "LC_ALL", 
    "PYTHONPATH", "TERM", "SHELL", "PWD"
])
child_env = {k: v for k, v in os.environ.items() 
             if k in _ALLOWED_ENV_VARS}
# Explicitly load only non-secret values

Fix 4: API Server Authentication (V-009)

# CURRENT CODE (gateway/platforms/api_server.py ~line 360-361)
if not self._api_key:
    return None  # No key configured — allow all

# SECURE FIX
if not self._api_key:
    logger.error("API server started without authentication")
    return web.json_response(
        {"error": "Server misconfigured - auth required"},
        status=500
    )

Fix 5: CORS Configuration (V-008)

# CURRENT CODE (gateway/platforms/api_server.py ~lines 324-328)
if "*" in self._cors_origins:
    headers["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"] = "*"

# SECURE FIX - Never allow wildcard with credentials
if "*" in self._cors_origins:
    logger.warning("Wildcard CORS not allowed with credentials")
    return None

Fix 6: OAuth State Validation (V-014)

# CURRENT CODE (tools/mcp_oauth.py ~line 186)
code, state = await _wait_for_callback()

# SECURE FIX
stored_state = get_stored_state()
if state != stored_state:
    raise SecurityError("OAuth state mismatch - possible CSRF attack")

Fix 7: Docker Volume Mount Validation (V-012)

# CURRENT CODE (tools/environments/docker.py ~line 267)
volume_args.extend(["-v", vol])

# SECURE FIX
_BLOCKED_PATHS = ['/var/run/docker.sock', '/proc', '/sys', ...]
if any(blocked in vol for blocked in _BLOCKED_PATHS):
    raise SecurityError(f"Volume mount {vol} not allowed")
volume_args.extend(["-v", vol])

Fix 8: Debug Output Redaction (V-027)

# Add to all debug logging
from agent.redact import redact_sensitive_text
logger.debug(redact_sensitive_text(debug_message))

Fix 9: Input Length Validation

# Add to all tool entry points
MAX_INPUT_LENGTH = 10000
if len(user_input) > MAX_INPUT_LENGTH:
    raise ValueError(f"Input exceeds maximum length of {MAX_INPUT_LENGTH}")

Fix 10: Session ID Entropy

# CURRENT CODE - uses uuid4
import uuid
session_id = str(uuid.uuid4())

# SECURE FIX - use secrets module
import secrets
session_id = secrets.token_urlsafe(32)
