# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Code execution security controls and sandbox isolation

## Open now

- 1 issue, 2 PRs open on GitHub.
- #30101: security: code execution sandbox runs with same UID and no seccomp/network isolation
- PR #33186: feat(plugins): enhance security-guidance with severity tiers, audit tool, and execution coverage
- PR #65948: fix(kanban): only guard open pull requests

These items concern security vulnerabilities and fixes around unrestricted code execution, sandbox isolation (UID, seccomp, network), approval/sudo context enforcement, and related security guidance tooling. A kanban guard fix for open pull requests is also included but is adjacent rather than central.

## TL;DR

- 5 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.34`: 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.
