Hermes Minimax Oauth

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill documents MiniMax OAuth support for Hermes in a coherent and disclosed way, with expected token storage and API use.

Install only if you intend to add MiniMax OAuth support to Hermes. After login, protect ~/.hermes/auth.json because it contains OAuth credentials that may allow MiniMax account access within the documented scopes.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs
Vulnerability Patterns
  • Data ExfiltrationExternal Transmission, Env Variable Harvesting, File System Enumeration
  • Prompt InjectionInstruction Override, Hidden Instructions, Exfiltration Commands
  • Privilege EscalationExcessive Permissions, Sudo/Root Execution, Credential Access
  • Supply ChainUnpinned Dependencies, External Script Fetching, Obfuscated Code
  • Excessive AgencyUnrestricted Tool Access, Autonomous Decision Making, Scope Creep

Missing User Warnings

Finding

This markdown file documents a security-relevant behavior: the OAuth access token is stored in ~/.hermes/auth.json. Although the behavior is described, there is no user-facing warning about local credential persistence, file sensitivity, or the need to protect that file, which can affect user privacy and account security.

Natural-Language Policy Violations

Confidence
86% confidence
Finding

The natural-language instructions throughout the file are presented in Chinese only, which can constitute a language/locale policy issue when no user opt-in or alternative language is offered. The file does not indicate that the skill is region-specific documentation or that Chinese is required for a justified compliance reason.
