fix(security): harden dashboard API against unauthenticated access (#9800)
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__

Hermes Agent — Web UI

Browser-based dashboard for managing Hermes Agent configuration, API keys, and monitoring active sessions.

Stack

  • Vite + React 19 + TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with custom dark theme
  • shadcn/ui-style components (hand-rolled, no CLI dependency)

Development

# Start the backend API server
cd ../
python -m hermes_cli.main web --no-open

# In another terminal, start the Vite dev server (with HMR + API proxy)
cd web/
npm run dev

The Vite dev server proxies /api requests to http://127.0.0.1:9119 (the FastAPI backend).

Build

npm run build

This outputs to ../hermes_cli/web_dist/, which the FastAPI server serves as a static SPA. The built assets are included in the Python package via pyproject.toml package-data.
