NightVision — agentic threat model

Not certain from the listing — The underlying foundation model is not specified. Standard LLM risks apply, particularly prompt injection that could hijack the agent to target unauthorized IP addresses or domains during DAST scans.

Not certain from the listing — The agent processes API schemas and scan results. If these data operations lack isolation, sensitive API endpoints, schemas, and discovered vulnerability details could be exposed or leaked via training data or context windows.

The agent orchestrates DAST scanning tools and API discovery. Insecure tool integration is a major threat here; an attacker could manipulate input parameters to execute arbitrary commands on the scanning infrastructure or target arbitrary networks.

Not certain from the listing — The deployment environment requires access to target networks to perform DAST scans. If the container or host running the agent is not sandboxed, it could be used as a launchpad for lateral movement or unauthorized network scanning.

Not certain from the listing — There is no mention of logging, guardrails, or scan boundaries. A lack of observability could prevent detection of unauthorized scanning activities or malicious payloads generated by the agent.

Not certain from the listing — The agent requires credentials/API keys to interface with NightVision and target systems, but the listing does not detail how these secrets are managed, nor does it mention compliance policies restricting scan targets.

The agent operates as a plugin within a coding workflow. If integrated into a multi-agent ecosystem, other compromised agents could abuse this agent's DAST capabilities to perform unauthorized reconnaissance or exploit discovery.
