CVE-2026-82021 (CVSS 9.0) covers Hermes Agent 0.18.2 through 0.19.0, where the bundled MCP catalog referenced a third-party upstream by branch name rather than commit SHA. Compromise the upstream and your code reaches every host installing that catalog entry, with zero operator action. The same batch includes CVE-2026-82020 (7.6), where ingested message content could overwrite the credential store because the sensitive-path guard excluded auth.json. Pinning is not optional in a catalog that executes what it fetches. (NVD)
