Title
NousResearch hermes-agent Electron Main Process main.ts resourceBufferFromUrl allocation of resources
Summary
A vulnerability was found in NousResearch hermes-agent 0.18.0. This vulnerability affects the function resourceBufferFromUrl of the file apps/desktop/electron/main.ts of the component Electron Main Process. Performing a manipulation results in allocation of resources. The attack may be initiated remotely. copyImageFromUrl() entry point no longer reachable on current main. That function did exist at v2026.8.3 but was removed by v2026.8.19. The modern copy-image path is Electron-native event.sender.copyImageAt().
