Eugeniusz Gilewski 8845f3316c fix(security): restrict dashboard plugin backend import to bundled plugins (#43719)
Defense-in-depth for the dashboard plugin auto-import path. The web server
auto-imports and mounts the Python backend (dashboard/manifest.json -> api file)
of plugins found in ~/.hermes/plugins/ (user) and ./.hermes/plugins/ (project),
not just bundled plugins. So any plugin that reaches one of those dirs gets
arbitrary Python executed on the next dashboard start.

NOTE ON THREAT MODEL: #43719's originally-documented delivery chain (a public
--insecure dashboard + open API used to git clone a malicious repo into
~/.hermes/plugins/) is ALREADY mitigated on main — since the June 2026
hermes-0day hardening, a non-loopback bind ALWAYS requires an auth provider and
--insecure no longer bypasses the auth gate. This change is therefore NOT
closing that (now-authenticated) network path; it removes the residual
'arbitrary code executes merely because a plugin is on disk' hazard, which still
applies when a plugin arrives by other means: a socially-engineered git clone,
a supply-chain drop, an authenticated-but-malicious actor, or a future
regression in the auth gate. Untrusted on-disk code should not auto-execute.

Restrict dashboard backend Python auto-import to BUNDLED plugins only. User and
project plugins may still extend the dashboard UI via static JS/CSS, but their
api Python file is never auto-imported. Two layers: _discover_dashboard_plugins
scrubs api/_api_file for user/project sources (and bundled wins name conflicts
so a non-bundled plugin cannot shadow a trusted backend route);
_mount_plugin_api_routes re-refuses user/project at mount time. Tightens the
prior GHSA-5qr3-c538-wm9j / #29156 hardening (bundled+user) to bundled-only.

Salvaged from #44472 (@egilewski) onto current main.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
