description: "Nous says the plugin first maps what an attacker can reach and which inputs the code trusts, splits the code across parallel subagents, checks each candidate finding against the code and traces whether it is actually exploitable. With test confirmation on, Hermes writes a small reproduction per finding and runs it in a temporary copy of the repo. Reports record the evidence and the findings ruled out, and export to SARIF. It runs from chat, the CLI or the Security page in Hermes Desktop."

### Nous Research ships an official Security plugin for Hermes Agent that maps attack surface, verifies findings and can write a reproduction for each

Running reproductions means executing code from the repository under review, so run it in a sandbox without production credentials, the same as any agent that executes untrusted code.
