DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in NousResearch hermes-agent up to 2026.4.30. This affects the function _scan_memory_content of the file tools/memory_tool.py. This manipulation causes injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Injection vulnerability in NousResearch hermes-agent's _scan_memory_content function exposes authenticated low-privileged remote users to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise across all versions through 2026.4.30. The flaw originates in tools/memory_tool.py, where user-controlled input is insufficiently neutralized before being passed to downstream components. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Authentication is required at a low-privilege level (CVSS PR:L confirmed from vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 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 needed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a low-privileged account on a network-accessible hermes-agent instance crafts a malicious payload targeting the `_scan_memory_content` function in `tools/memory_tool.py`, injecting content that propagates to a downstream component such as an LLM prompt, subprocess call, or file operation. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available via GitHub gist, lowering the barrier to exploitation to script-level capability. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
