1. The Engineering Pain Point

Pipeline Fatigue: CI/CD scanners block deployments for outdated transitive dependencies that cannot be reached or executed in production.
Intellectual Property Exposure: Uploading internal CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM files to third-party multi-tenant SaaS vendors exposes proprietary repository topology.
Unclear Prioritization: Without threat intelligence on whether a CVE has public weaponized exploit code, developers cannot determine whether an upgrade is urgent or deferrable.

2. What Hermes Delivers to Engineering

100% Client-Side SBOM Analysis

Evaluate CycloneDX/SPDX manifests entirely within your browser memory. No code, manifest, or dependency list ever leaves your machine.

Security Delta (Before/After Diff)

Simulate architectural refactoring or version upgrades to quantify exact net risk reduction (Δ HTS) before writing code.

Weaponized Exploit Filtering

Prioritize strictly vulnerabilities with confirmed public exploit frameworks and active CISA KEV campaigns over theoretical flaws.

Automated Webhook Alerts

Trigger Slack, Teams, Discord, or CI/CD notifications only when an accelerating risk directly impacts your monitored stack.

3. Dynamic Trajectory: Focus on Accelerated Components (Section 23)

Hermes Trajectory Engine

How Risk Trajectory Works

Legacy scanners give you a frozen number. Hermes computes the dynamic vector of exploitation.

Evaluated Vector: CVE-2026-67593 (aiohttp Directory Traversal / Transitive Library)

📐 Mathematical Formalization & Archetypes View R(t) equation & gradients ▾

Risk Vector Equation: R(t) = R₀ + ∫ (v(t) + a(t)·t) dt

Hermes continuously samples KEV weaponization timestamps, EPSS percentiles, and public exploit commits to calculate real derivatives.

Archetype	Exploit Behavior	Decision Directive
Critical Acceleration	v > +10, a > 0 (KEV récent + PoC public actif)	T0 Confinement immédiat (< 24h)
Exponential Inflexion	v > +5, a > 0 (Armement en cours d'outillage)	T1 Patch planifié (< 7 jours)
Plateaued Risk	v ≈ 0, a ≈ 0 (Exploit stable, pas de nouveau vecteur)	Cycle de maintenance standard
Dormant / Theoretical	v = 0, a ≤ 0 (CVSS théorique, 0 exploit in the wild)	Surveillance passive sans alerte bloquante

Corroborating Primary Evidence:

✓ Active in-the-wild mass scanning targeting exposed aiohttp static file handlers
✓ Automated nuclei template committed to public penetration testing feeds
✓ Reachability analysis confirms public ingress route without authentication
✓ Transitive library embedded in 14 internal microservice containers

5. Engineering Workflow Example

1. Generate SBOM in CI/CD:
   cyclonedx-cli merge --output bom.json

2. Private Audit in Hermes "My Stack":
   Drag-and-drop bom.json into the browser.
   Hermes matches 147 dependencies locally against static threat trajectories.

3. Isolate Accelerated Components:
   Out of 23 reported CVEs, only 1 exhibits critical acceleration (CVE-2026-67593).
   The remaining 22 CVEs have zero weaponization and can be scheduled in standard sprints.

4. Simulate Architectural Delta:
   Test isolating the port behind mTLS in Security Delta:
   Confirm net risk drops from 92 to 50 HTS without breaking existing microservices.
