Addresses responsible disclosure from FuzzMind Security Lab (CVE pending).
The web dashboard API server had 36 endpoints, of which only 5 checked
the session token. The token itself was served from an unauthenticated
GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint, rendering the protection circular.
When bound to 0.0.0.0 (--host flag), all API keys, config, and cron
management were accessible to any machine on the network.
Changes:
- Add auth middleware requiring session token on ALL /api/ routes except
a small public whitelist (status, config/defaults, config/schema,
model/info)
- Remove GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint entirely; inject the token
into index.html via a <script> tag at serve time instead
- Replace all inline token comparisons (!=) with hmac.compare_digest()
to prevent timing side-channel attacks
- Block non-localhost binding by default; require --insecure flag to
override (with warning log)
- Update frontend fetchJSON() to send Authorization header on all
requests using the injected window.__HERMES_SESSION_TOKEN__

- Add GET /api/model/info endpoint that resolves model metadata using the
same 10-step context-length detection chain the agent uses. Returns
auto-detected context length, config override, effective value, and
model capabilities (tools, vision, reasoning, max output, model family).
- Surface model.context_length as model_context_length virtual field in
the config normalize/denormalize cycle. 0 = auto-detect (default),
positive value overrides. Writing 0 removes context_length from the
model dict on disk.
- Add ModelInfoCard component showing resolved context window (e.g. '1M
auto-detected' or '500K override — auto: 1M'), max output tokens, and
colored capability badges (Tools, Vision, Reasoning, model family).
- Inject ModelInfoCard between model field and context_length override in
ConfigPage General tab. Card re-fetches on model change and after save.
- Insert model_context_length right after model in CONFIG_SCHEMA ordering
so the three elements (model input → info card → override) are adjacent.
Add OAuth provider management to the Hermes dashboard with full
lifecycle support for Anthropic (PKCE), Nous and OpenAI Codex
(device-code) flows.
## Backend (hermes_cli/web_server.py)
- 6 new API endpoints:
GET /api/providers/oauth — list providers with connection status
POST /api/providers/oauth/{id}/start — initiate PKCE or device-code
POST /api/providers/oauth/{id}/submit — exchange PKCE auth code
GET /api/providers/oauth/{id}/poll/{session} — poll device-code
DELETE /api/providers/oauth/{id} — disconnect provider
DELETE /api/providers/oauth/sessions/{id} — cancel pending session
- OAuth constants imported from anthropic_adapter (no duplication)
- Blocking I/O wrapped in run_in_executor for async safety
- In-memory session store with 15-minute TTL and automatic GC
- Auth token required on all mutating endpoints
## Frontend
- OAuthLoginModal — PKCE (paste auth code) and device-code (poll) flows
- OAuthProvidersCard — status, token preview, connect/disconnect actions
- Toast fix: createPortal to document.body for correct z-index
- App.tsx: skip animation key bump on initial mount (prevent double-mount)
- Integrated into the Env/Keys page
The cron API returns schedule as {kind, expr, display} object but
CronPage.tsx rendered it directly as a React child, crashing with
'Objects are not valid as a React child'.
- Update CronJob interface in api.ts to match actual API response
- Use schedule_display (string) instead of schedule (object)
- Use state instead of status for job state
- Use last_error instead of error for error display
* feat: web UI dashboard for managing Hermes Agent (salvage of #8204/#7621)
Adds an embedded web UI dashboard accessible via `hermes web`:
- Status page: agent version, active sessions, gateway status, connected platforms
- Config editor: schema-driven form with tabbed categories, import/export, reset
- API Keys page: set, clear, and view redacted values with category grouping
- Sessions, Skills, Cron, Logs, and Analytics pages
Backend:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: FastAPI server with REST endpoints
- hermes_cli/config.py: reload_env() utility for hot-reloading .env
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes web` subcommand (--port, --host, --no-open)
- cli.py / commands.py: /reload slash command for .env hot-reload
- pyproject.toml: [web] optional dependency extra (fastapi + uvicorn)
- Both update paths (git + zip) auto-build web frontend when npm available
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 SPA in web/
- shadcn/ui-style components, Nous design language
- Auto-refresh status page, toast notifications, masked password inputs
Security:
- Path traversal guard (resolve().is_relative_to()) on SPA file serving
- CORS localhost-only via allow_origin_regex
- Generic error messages (no internal leak), SessionDB handles closed properly
Tests: 47 tests covering reload_env, redact_key, API endpoints, schema
generation, path traversal, category merging, internal key stripping,
and full config round-trip.
Original work by @austinpickett (PR #1813), salvaged by @kshitijk4poor
(PR #7621 → #8204), re-salvaged onto current main with stale-branch
regressions removed.
* fix(web): clean up status page cards, always rebuild on `hermes web`
- Remove config version migration alert banner from status page
- Remove config version card (internal noise, not surfaced in TUI)
- Reorder status cards: Agent → Gateway → Active Sessions (3-col grid)
- `hermes web` now always rebuilds from source before serving,
preventing stale web_dist when editing frontend files
* feat(web): full-text search across session messages
- Add GET /api/sessions/search endpoint backed by FTS5
- Auto-append prefix wildcards so partial words match (e.g. 'nimb' → 'nimby')
- Debounced search (300ms) with spinner in the search icon slot
- Search results show FTS5 snippets with highlighted match delimiters
- Expanding a search hit auto-scrolls to the first matching message
- Matching messages get a warning ring + 'match' badge
- Inline term highlighting within Markdown (text, bold, italic, headings, lists)
- Clear button (x) on search input for quick reset
