DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in NousResearch hermes-agent up to 2026.4.30. Affected is the function _serve_plugin_skill/skill_view of the file tools/skills_tool.py. Executing a manipulation can lead to injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Remote injection in NousResearch Hermes Agent through version 2026.4.30 allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the _serve_plugin_skill/skill_view function in tools/skills_tool.py. Publicly available exploit code exists via a GitHub gist, and the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, leaving deployments without an official fix. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the Hermes Agent HTTP service exposing the _serve_plugin_skill or skill_view routes from tools/skills_tool.py, and the deployment must be running NousResearch Hermes Agent at or below version 2026.4.30. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation, which when combined with publicly available exploit code and the vendor's silence creates elevated short-term risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker scans for internet-exposed Hermes Agent deployments and sends a crafted HTTP request to the skill_view endpoint, embedding injection payloads in plugin skill parameters processed by _serve_plugin_skill. Using the publicly available PoC gist as a template, the attacker triggers the injection to read sensitive data or influence downstream command execution, with no credentials or user interaction required.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and NousResearch did not respond to coordinated disclosure, so operators must rely on compensating controls. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running NousResearch Hermes Agent versions through 2026.4.30 and assess network accessibility of the affected endpoint. …
