Full Analysis
  • [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill provides a command to download and execute an installation script from https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh by piping the output of curl directly into bash. 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-dojo and hermes-skill-factory which 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 cron jobs 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, wondelai search skills, and workflow observation by hermes-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
