doc-driven-development — agentic threat model

9.2AIVSS 9.2 · Critical

This agent presents a high-risk profile due to its ability to execute code modifications directly on a local working tree based on markdown instructions, making it highly susceptible to prompt injection via malicious documentation.

OWASP AIVSS score rationale

AIVSS = (CVSS_Base + AARS) × Mitigation_Factor, where AARS = (10 − CVSS_Base) × (Factor_Sum / 10) × ThM

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.

L1 · Foundation Models⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — relies on Claude Code's underlying Claude models. Vulnerable to indirect prompt injection if a malicious markdown design document contains instructions that hijack the model's reasoning to write backdoors into the codebase.

L2 · Data Operations✓ mapped

The agent treats local markdown files as the primary source of truth. If these files are poisoned or modified by an untrusted actor (e.g., via a malicious git pull), the agent will faithfully implement the malicious specifications.

L3 · Agent Frameworks✓ mapped

Implements a plan-from-markdown workflow that translates high-level documentation into file system edits. Vulnerabilities in the parsing or execution of these plans could lead to arbitrary file writes or directory traversal within the working tree.

L4 · Deployment & Infrastructure⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — as a Claude Code plugin, it likely runs locally on a developer's workstation. If not sandboxed, compromised execution could lead to full host compromise, local credential theft, or unauthorized code commits.

L5 · Evaluation & Observability⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — there is no mention of built-in guardrails, dry-run verifications, or semantic diff evaluations to ensure the generated code matches the safe intent of the documentation before applying changes.

L6 · Security & Compliance (cross-cutting)⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — lacks explicit authorization controls or policy enforcement mechanisms to restrict which directories or files the agent is permitted to modify based on the markdown input.

L7 · Agent Ecosystem✓ mapped

Operates as a plugin within the Claude Code ecosystem. It interacts directly with the host environment's developer tools, creating a risk of cascading compromise if chained with other local development plugins.
