Full Analysis
- [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill provides a command to download and execute an installation script from
https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.shby piping the output ofcurldirectly intobash. This pattern allows for arbitrary code execution from a remote server without prior inspection. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Users are encouraged to clone and install code from a large number of third-party GitHub repositories belonging to various user accounts (e.g.,
wondelai,tlehman,builderz-labs). These resources represent a supply chain risk as they originate from unverified sources. - [DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: The documentation highlights tools such as
hermes-dojoandhermes-skill-factorywhich are designed to autonomously generate or modify executable skills at runtime based on observed agent behavior or performance metrics. - [PERSISTENCE]: The skill includes instructions for configuring recurring
cronjobs within the agent's profile (config.yaml). This mechanism can be used to maintain background execution of tasks across sessions. - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill sets up surfaces for processing untrusted data from external sources like Nextcloud, Spotify, and web search results. This data could contain hidden instructions that influence the agent's behavior.
- Ingestion points: Data ingested via
hermes-nextcloud,wondelaisearch skills, and workflow observation byhermes-skill-factory. - Boundary markers: None defined in the skill instructions to separate data from commands.
- Capability inventory: The skill utilizes
execute_code,subprocess.run, and file writing operations. - Sanitization: There are no mentions of input validation or sanitization for data retrieved from external sources.
Recommendations
- HIGH: Downloads and executes remote code from: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh - DO NOT USE without thorough review
- AI detected serious security threats
