Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Hermes Agent version 0.16.0
Description An improper path restriction exists that allows attackers who can influence ingested message content to overwrite the credential store. This occurs by bypassing sensitive-path guards that failed to exclude the auth.json file. Attackers can craft malicious messages to direct the agent's file-write tooling to overwrite the credential store, which may lead to credential tampering or unauthorized access.
Recommendations Update Hermes Agent to version 0.17.0.
