# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Profile name traversal vulnerability and RPC handling

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These items concern path traversal risks when profile names are used in filesystem operations, plus related RPC parameter validation and profile lifecycle behavior in gateway routes. The fix involves rejecting traversal-shaped profile names at input.

## TL;DR

- 3 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #110212. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #110212 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.67`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
