Tely AI — agentic threat model
Tely AI exhibits high agentic risk due to its autonomous publishing capabilities directly to client CMS platforms, creating a direct vector for automated site defacement, SEO poisoning, or lead data exfiltration if compromised.
OWASP AIVSS score rationale

| Contextual Awareness | 0.80 | |
| Dynamic Identity | 0.20 | |
| Multi-Agent Interactions | 0.20 | |
| Non-Determinism | 0.70 | |
| Opacity & Reflexivity | 0.50 |
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 — The underlying foundation models are not specified. If commercial LLMs are used, they are susceptible to prompt injection that could bypass content safety guidelines, leading to the generation of inappropriate or brand-damaging content.
The agent ingests data by scanning client sites, competitors, and industry trends, and collects lead generation data. This introduces risks of indirect prompt injection from malicious competitor websites, data poisoning of the SEO knowledge base, and unauthorized exfiltration of captured lead data.
The agent orchestrates multi-step workflows including keyword research, internal linking, and direct blog publishing. Vulnerabilities in the orchestration framework could allow tool misuse, such as hijacking the CMS integration to publish unauthorized spam or malicious links.
Not certain from the listing — The hosting environment and credential storage mechanisms are undisclosed. A key threat is the insecure storage of CMS API keys or credentials, which could allow attackers to compromise the connected website directly.
Not certain from the listing — It is unclear if there are automated guardrails, human-in-the-loop approval gates, or semantic filters to inspect generated content for hallucinations, bias, or malicious injections before autonomous publication.
Not certain from the listing — No compliance certifications (e.g., SOC2, GDPR for lead capture) or granular role-based access controls (RBAC) for managing publishing permissions are detailed.
Not certain from the listing — While primarily operating as a standalone platform, it integrates deeply with external CMS ecosystems (e.g., WordPress, Webflow). Threats include API deprecation or security failures in third-party CMS plugins breaking the agent's boundary controls.

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.
