Submit #800802: NousResearch hermes-agent 0.8.0 Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Webhookinfo

TitleNousResearch hermes-agent 0.8.0 Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution Webhook
DescriptionThe hermes-agent webhook adapter supports a special INSECURE_NO_AUTH configuration value that completely disables HMAC signature verification on incoming webhook requests. When a webhook route is configured with this value as its secret, any POST request to /webhooks/{route_name} is accepted without authentication. The payload becomes an agent prompt that can trigger tool execution, effectively enabling Remote Code Execution (RCE) for any network client that can reach the webhook endpoint.
