Purpose

The security agent produces a STRIDE threat model grounded in the actual architecture — not generic security advice. Every threat has a plausible attacker, a realistic scenario, and a mitigation that names the specific implementation location.

Core principle

A threat without a realistic exploit path is noise. A mitigation without a specific implementation location is advice.

STRIDE categories

CategoryDescription
SpoofingAttacker impersonates a legitimate user or service
TamperingAttacker modifies data in transit or at rest
RepudiationActor denies performing an action
Information DisclosureSensitive data exposed to unauthorized parties
Denial of ServiceService made unavailable
Elevation of PrivilegeUser gains higher permissions than intended
