Flowable — agentic threat model
Flowable is a powerful business automation platform whose integration of AI introduces non-deterministic risks into structured workflows. Its high capacity for multi-step planning and integration with enterprise tools makes securing its orchestration layer critical to prevent unauthorized business process execution.

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 — Flowable integrates AI but does not specify the underlying foundation models used, making it susceptible to standard LLM threats like prompt injection or misaligned outputs depending on the chosen model.
Not certain from the listing — As a business automation platform, it likely processes sensitive workflow data, but the specific data operations, vector stores, or RAG mechanisms are not detailed.
Flowable acts as an orchestration framework for business processes. Vulnerabilities here include insecure tool integration, workflow bypasses, or malicious process injection that could hijack business logic.
Not certain from the listing — Being open-source, deployment is managed by the user, meaning infrastructure security, sandboxing, and secrets management depend entirely on the host environment.
Not certain from the listing — While Flowable provides traditional business process monitoring, AI-specific observability, guardrails, and drift detection are not detailed in the public listing.
Not certain from the listing — Flowable typically supports enterprise role-based access control (RBAC) for workflows, but specific AI safety policies or compliance alignments are not described.
Not certain from the listing — The platform focuses on business process automation and AI integration, but there is no explicit mention of a multi-agent ecosystem or marketplace interactions.
