{"id":"GHSA-jm5j-jfrm-hm23","summary":"hermes's raw options logging may disclose secrets passed in via subcommand options argument","details":"Thanks, @thunze for reporting this!\n\n`hermes` subcommands take arbitrary options under the `-O` argument. These have been logged in raw form since https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes/commit/7f64f102e916c76dc44404b77ab2a80f5a4e59b1 in: https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes/blob/3a92f42b2b976fdbc2c49a621de6d665364a7cee/src/hermes/commands/cli.py#L66\n\nIf users provide sensitive data such as API tokens (e.g., via `hermes deposit -O invenio_rdm.auth_token SECRET`), these are written to the log file in plain text, making them available to whoever can access the log file.\n\n### Impact\n\nAs currently, `hermes.log` is not yet uploaded automatically as an artifact in CI, this vuln impacts:\n\n- local users working on shared access computers, where logs may be written to a commonly accessible file system\n- CI users whose CI logs are accessible to others, e.g., through group or organization rights\n\nPotentially, if the changes merged from https://github.com/softwarepub/ci-templates/pull/13 are merged into `ci-templates` via https://github.com/softwarepub/ci-templates/pull/14, this would automate the disclosure of Invenio auth tokens at least for all CI runs against Invenio instances!\n\n### Patches\n\nThis has been patched in [`hermes` 0.9.1](TODO) by masking all values passed using `-O`.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUpgrade to `hermes` \u003e= 0.9.1.","aliases":["CVE-2026-22798","PYSEC-2026-1449"],"modified":"2026-07-07T17:56:32.181291920Z","published":"2026-01-13T20:30:54Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-01-13T20:30:54Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-01-12T22:16:08Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-532"],"severity":"MODERATE"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes/security/advisories/GHSA-jm5j-jfrm-hm23"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-22798"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes/commit/7f64f102e916c76dc44404b77ab2a80f5a4e59b1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes/commit/90cb86acd026e7841f2539ae7a1b284a7f263514"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/softwarepub/hermes"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"hermes","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/hermes"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0.8.1"},{"fixed":"0.9.1"}]}],"versions":["0.8.1","0.9.0"],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 0.9.0","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/01/GHSA-jm5j-jfrm-hm23/GHSA-jm5j-jfrm-hm23.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N"}]}
