Asana AI — agentic threat model
Asana AI presents a moderate-to-high risk profile due to its integration into enterprise workflows via AI Studio, allowing multi-agent automation over sensitive corporate project data and task management systems.

Scored with the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula (AIVSS calculator reference); agentic risk factors estimated from the agent’s described capabilities.
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 — Asana AI likely leverages third-party foundation models via API. Primary threats include prompt injection leading to unauthorized actions or data leakage, and adversarial manipulation of task summaries.
Not certain from the listing — The agent processes sensitive organizational project data, goals, and tasks. Threats include data exfiltration via prompt injection and potential poisoning of the workspace context to manipulate automated decisions.
Asana AI utilizes 'AI Studio' to design and deploy AI agents within workflows. Threats include insecure tool integration, unauthorized execution of automated tasks, and logic flaws in the no-code orchestration framework.
Not certain from the listing — Hosted on Asana's enterprise cloud infrastructure. Threats include container escape, privilege escalation, and lateral movement within the hosting environment if the execution sandbox is compromised.
Not certain from the listing — The listing does not specify the evaluation or observability guardrails in place. Gaps here could lead to undetected drift in automated workflows or silent failures in goal drafting.
Not certain from the listing — While Asana maintains enterprise-grade compliance (e.g., SOC 2), the specific security controls, access policies, and audit logs governing AI-driven actions are not detailed.
The platform supports deploying multiple AI agents within workflows via AI Studio. This introduces threats of multi-agent trust abuse, cascading failures across automated workflows, and unauthorized horizontal escalation.
