I believe she gained the awoken's trust and the queens trust under the order of her true queen. The awoken "waiver between light and dark" which is why I believe they did not sense anything wrong with eris. Having the awoken's trust then gave her credibility with the vanguard so they overlooked the darkness inside of her.
I believe that one of Oryx's sisters put a worm in her, and shielded her from crota. This is really the only thing that I have come up with that explains how she could survive down there for so long.
PS. Thank you for responding, I'm a giant lore junky and I love what you and your group does.

Toland gave her techniques to survive amongst the Hive, which probably included swallowing a worm

We also know that worms have control or at least incredible influence over there host. Also my claim about eris using the awoken is supported by the statement "the awoken have served there purpose" I would say that Toland represents the biggest whole in my theory, simply because I have yet to find anything to link him to it.
