Ares - Recruta Agent — agentic threat model

8.9AIVSS 8.9 · High

Ares presents a high-risk profile due to its autonomous handling of sensitive candidate PII and voice interactions, making it a prime target for bias exploitation, data exfiltration, and regulatory non-compliance under high-risk AI frameworks.

OWASP AIVSS score rationale

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

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.

L1 · Foundation Models⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — likely utilizes standard LLMs and speech-to-text/text-to-speech models. Threats include adversarial prompt injection during voice interviews, model bias leading to discriminatory candidate ranking, and potential model reprogramming via malicious resumes.

L2 · Data Operations⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — processes extensive candidate profiles, resumes, and voice recordings. Threats include data exfiltration of highly sensitive PII, knowledge-base poisoning via fraudulent candidate histories, and lack of clear data lineage for automated hiring decisions.

L3 · Agent Frameworks✓ mapped

Orchestrates autonomous sourcing, voice interviewing, and candidate ranking. Threats include tool misuse (e.g., unauthorized candidate outreach or spamming), memory poisoning from candidate inputs during live voice sessions, and insecure integration with external ATS or sourcing APIs.

L4 · Deployment & Infrastructure⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — hosts voice streaming infrastructure and candidate databases. Threats include container compromise, exposed voice/API endpoints, and lack of sandboxing when parsing untrusted candidate-submitted files (e.g., PDF resumes containing exploits).

L5 · Evaluation & Observability⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — requires robust monitoring for bias, drift in candidate ranking, and voice quality. Threats include evaluation gaming (candidates optimizing inputs to trick the AI) and blind spots in detecting discriminatory hiring patterns.

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

Not certain from the listing — operates in a highly regulated space (employment/recruitment is classified as 'High-Risk' under the EU AI Act). Threats include non-compliance with global privacy laws (GDPR/CCPA), lack of auditability for automated rejection decisions, and insufficient bias audits.

L7 · Agent Ecosystem⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — may interact with external sourcing platforms or ATS ecosystems. Threats include cascading failures if external APIs change, and unauthorized data sharing or trust abuse between the recruitment agent and third-party HR tools.
