fix(security): close hermes-0day MCP-persistence attack surface
Remove the dashboard --insecure auth-bypass, add an MCP persistence guard + IOC blocklist, and raise the API-server key entropy floor. Driven by the June 2026 hermes-0day campaign (r/hermesagent, live 854.media instance): scanners find exposed Hermes dashboards/API servers, drive the root agent to plant a 'command: bash' MCP entry that appends an attacker SSH key to authorized_keys, which cron + startup then re-execute every tick. - dashboard: --insecure no longer disables the auth gate. should_require_auth returns True for every non-loopback bind; a public bind ALWAYS requires an auth provider (bundled password provider or OAuth). --insecure kept as a warned no-op for backward compat. Fail-closed error now points at the password provider, not at --insecure. - mcp_security: validate_mcp_server_entry now also rejects shell payloads that write to OS persistence surfaces (authorized_keys/.ssh/pam.d/sudoers/cron/ rc files) and hard-rejects a hermes-0day IOC blocklist (attacker SSH key + source IPs) anywhere in command/args/env. Runs at save AND spawn time. - api_server: raise network-bind API_SERVER_KEY entropy floor 8->16 chars; warn when a network-accessible API server runs an unsandboxed local backend.

1. The exfiltration shape from #45620: a shell interpreter whose inline script

2. The persistence shape from the June 2026 ``hermes-0day`` campaign: a shell

interpreter whose inline script writes to OS persistence surfaces
|

(``~/.ssh/authorized_keys``, ``/etc/ssh``, ``/etc/pam.d``, ``sudoers``,
|

crontab, shell rc files). The campaign planted ``command: bash`` MCP entries
|

whose payload appended an attacker SSH key to ``authorized_keys``; Hermes
|
||||
re-executed them on every cron tick / startup, re-installing the backdoor.
|

|

3. A hardcoded indicator-of-compromise (IOC) blocklist for that campaign — the
|
||||
attacker's ``hermes-0day`` SSH public key and source IPs. Any entry whose
|

command/args/env carry an IOC is refused outright, regardless of shape, so a
|

pre-planted ``config.yaml`` cannot spawn it.

These checks run BOTH at save time (``_save_mcp_server`` — dashboard API + CLI)
|
||||
and at spawn time (``tools.mcp_tool._filter_suspicious_mcp_servers`` — discovery
|

/ cron / startup), so a hand-edited or pre-planted entry is also caught before

it can execute.
