🛡️ AgentReady threat assessment
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model + OWASP AIVSS risk score for VSCode-Aider-Extension (MattFlower), 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
A VS Code extension wrapping the Aider terminal pair-programmer: it keeps whatever files you have open in the editor added to the current Aider chat, and adds menu commands to run Aider actions. Security surface: it launches the Aider CLI as a child process and passes file/workspace context to an LLM that edits and git-commits code.
Key features and capabilities
- Auto-add open files to Aider chat
- Editor commands to drive Aider
- Terminal-integrated Aider workflow
Use cases
- Use Aider without leaving VS Code
