Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must possess a valid low-privileged account on the target hermes-agent instance, as confirmed by the CVSS vector PR:L - unauthenticated actors cannot exploit this without first obtaining credentials. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 6.3 (Medium) reflects AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L - network-reachable, low complexity, requiring only low-privileged authentication with no user interaction and unchanged scope. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists at https://gist.github.com/YLChen-007/c2d162e9c8d39584223683cdcba98607. An attacker with a valid low-privileged account sends a crafted HTTP request to the hermes-agent resume endpoint, supplying the known or guessed title of another user's agent session as the `title` argument. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the vendor did not respond to pre-disclosure contact, so no fix version is confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
