| タイトル | NousResearch hermes-agent <= 0.12.0 Injection (CWE-74) |
|---|
| 説明 | # Technical Details
A Prompt Injection vulnerability exists in the `_compress_context` method in `run_agent.py` and `TodoStore.format_for_injection()` in `tools/todo_tool.py` of hermes-agent.
The application fails to sanitize or escape todo item contents before appending them directly into the compressed message array as an authoritative `{"role": "user"}` message.
# Vulnerable Code
File: run_agent.py and tools/todo_tool.py
Method: _compress_context and TodoStore.format_for_injection
Why: Raw todo item content is appended directly as an authoritative user message at the end of the context during compression, allowing attacker payloads to override prior system instructions.
# Reproduction
1. Interact with the agent to create a malicious todo item containing an injection payload (e.g., via the `/v1/chat/completions` API).
2. Continue the conversation until context compression is triggered.
3. The injected payload becomes the last user message in the context, successfully hijacking the agent's behavior.
# Impact
- Override system instructions and safety directives.
- Exfiltrate sensitive data such as environment variables or API keys, and abuse tools to execute shell commands. |
