CVE-2026-108593
9router 0.4.1 through 0.5.99 contains a configuration injection vulnerability in the POST /api/cli-tools/hermes-settings endpoint that allows authenticated dashboard users to inject arbitrary keys into the Hermes Agent config.yaml file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
9router 0.4.1 through 0.5.99 contains a configuration injection vulnerability in the POST /api/cli-tools/hermes-settings endpoint that allows authenticated dashboard users to inject arbitrary keys into the Hermes Agent config.yaml file. Attackers can submit a baseUrl containing double quotes and newlines to add hooks_auto_accept and a hooks.post_llm_call shell command, which Hermes Agent executes without approval after an LLM call.
