🛡️ AgentReady threat assessment
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model + OWASP AIVSS risk score for Aider Companion (JetBrains), derived from its capabilities.
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. See the scoring methodology — every score is re-derived by the same automated method as an agent's public evidence changes.
Overview
Aider Companion is a JetBrains IDE plugin that runs a small REST API server exposing an endpoint which lists the files currently open in the IDE, letting Aider (or tooling around it) fetch live editor context. Security surface: it stands up a local HTTP server that reports open-file paths to any client that can reach it.
