2DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in NousResearch hermes-agent 0.18.0. Affected by this issue is the function _sess_nowait of the file s71.py of the component Session Management. This manipulation of the argument session_id causes authorization bypass. The attack can be initiated remotely. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in NousResearch hermes-agent 0.18.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate the session_id argument passed to the _sess_nowait function in s71.py, circumventing session-based access controls without supplying valid credentials. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms trivially network-reachable exploitation with no prerequisites, though impact is bounded at low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, yielding a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have network connectivity to the hermes-agent service endpoint that invokes `_sess_nowait` in `s71.py`. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (Medium) reflects a network-exploitable, unauthenticated flaw with no complexity barrier, but limited per-exploitation impact (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis, and the vendor did not respond to the researcher's disclosure. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
