SonicJobs — agentic threat model
SonicJobs acts as an intermediary agent automating job applications and screener questions across major job boards, presenting a high risk of PII exposure (resumes, contact details) and potential automated abuse of employer applicant tracking systems if compromised.

MAESTRO 7-layer threat model
Per-layer threats for this agent. Layers tagged “not certain from listing” are general, caveated commentary where the public description didn’t pin that layer.
Not certain from the listing — likely utilizes LLMs to interpret screener questions and map resume data. Threats include prompt injection via malicious job descriptions or candidate resumes designed to hijack the model's output or extract system prompts.
Not certain from the listing — processes highly sensitive candidate PII (resumes, contact info, work history). Threats include data exfiltration of candidate profiles, unauthorized caching of credentials, and lack of secure data deletion policies.
Not certain from the listing — orchestrates the form-filling workflow. Threats include insecure tool integration where the agent is tricked into submitting candidate data to malicious or spoofed employer endpoints.
Not certain from the listing — hosted as a closed-source commercial service. Threats include compromise of API keys used to authenticate with partner job boards (Monster, ZipRecruiter) and lack of isolation between candidate sessions.
Not certain from the listing — requires monitoring to ensure screener questions are answered accurately and applications are successfully submitted. Threats include silent failures where applications are corrupted or dropped without candidate awareness.
Not certain from the listing — must comply with strict privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) given the handling of recruitment data. Threats include lack of explicit candidate consent mechanisms for automated decision-making and insufficient audit trails for data transfers.
The agent operates directly within a multi-party ecosystem, partnering with 22 major job sites (e.g., Monster, ZipRecruiter) and submitting data to external employer ATS platforms. Threats include API trust abuse, cascading failures if partner APIs change, and the potential for the agent to be used as a vector for automated spamming of employer application portals.

These scores are auto-generated from public information (the agent's own listing, docs, and repository) using the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula and the MAESTRO framework — an estimate for guidance, not a penetration test, audit, or certification.
