EPA608Pass — agentic threat model
EPA608Pass is a low-risk educational platform with minimal to no agentic capabilities, primarily serving as a structured study tool for HVAC certification. Its security risks are aligned with standard web applications rather than autonomous AI agents.

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 listing does not explicitly state if LLMs are used to generate explanations or questions. If an LLM is used, threats include prompt injection leading to incorrect regulatory advice or model output manipulation.
Not certain from the listing — The application relies on a database of 500+ practice questions and flashcards. Threats include database tampering, unauthorized modification of exam content, or exfiltration of user progress data.
Not certain from the listing — The platform likely operates as a traditional web application rather than using an agentic orchestration framework. There are no dynamic tools or complex planning capabilities to exploit.
Not certain from the listing — Standard web hosting infrastructure is assumed. Threats are limited to typical web application vulnerabilities (e.g., cross-site scripting, broken authentication) rather than sandbox escapes or container compromise.
Not certain from the listing — No observability or LLM guardrails are mentioned. If LLMs are used for dynamic explanations, there is a risk of unmonitored hallucinations regarding EPA regulations.
Not certain from the listing — No specific security compliance frameworks (such as SOC2) or advanced identity controls are mentioned. Standard user authentication is expected.
Not certain from the listing — The agent operates in isolation as a standalone educational tool with no multi-agent or ecosystem integrations described.
