EasyCodeFinder — agentic threat model
EasyCodeFinder is a low-to-moderate risk open-source shopping agent. Its primary security exposure stems from real-time web scraping of untrusted sources (social media, coupon sites), making it highly susceptible to indirect prompt injection and serving malicious links to users.

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 uses a standard LLM for parsing search results and extracting coupon codes. Vulnerable to indirect prompt injection via poisoned web content or social media feeds.
Not certain from the listing — likely relies on real-time web scraping and search APIs rather than a persistent vector database. Vulnerable to data poisoning from malicious coupon sites hosting fake codes or malicious payloads.
Not certain from the listing — likely uses a lightweight orchestration framework to chain search queries and LLM parsing. Vulnerable to insecure tool integration if the web scraper executes untrusted JS or parses malicious payloads.
Not certain from the listing — being open-source, deployment is up to the host, but official hosted versions require secure sandboxing for web scraping activities to prevent SSRF or container escape.
Not certain from the listing — no mention of guardrails or observability tools to detect when the agent extracts malicious URLs or hallucinated coupon codes.
Not certain from the listing — open-source nature allows code audits, but there are no mentioned compliance certifications (e.g., SOC2) or built-in access controls.
Not certain from the listing — operates as a standalone horizontal shopping agent with no indicated multi-agent or marketplace integrations.
