Threat Intelligence Database

Hermes Agent before 0.16.0 creates response_store.db and webhook_subscriptions.json with world-readable permissions (mode 0o644), exposing conversation history and HMAC secrets to local users. Attackers with local filesystem access can read these files directly to obtain sensitive data including conversation history, tool payloads, prompts, and per-route HMAC secrets.

Hermes Agent versions before 0.16.0 contain a DNS rebinding vulnerability in WebSocket endpoints that bypasses Host and Origin validation. This occurs because FastAPI HTTP middleware does not run for WebSocket upgrade requests on certain API endpoints, allowing remote attackers to inject commands or read terminal output without authentication.
