Discovery (AML.TA0008)
OpenClaw discovery threats (AML.TA0008): T-DISC-001, T-DISC-002
Threats in the discovery tactic (AML.TA0008) of the MITRE ATLAS framework. Each entry lists the ATLAS technique, attack vector, affected components, current mitigations, residual risk, and recommendations.
The trust boundaries and data flows these threats cross are defined in the threat model index, which also holds the risk matrix, the recommendations summary, and the ATLAS technique mapping.
T-DISC-001: Tool enumeration
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| ATLAS ID | AML.T0040 - AI Model Inference API Access |
| Description | Attacker enumerates available tools through prompting |
| Attack vector | "What tools do you have?" style queries |
| Affected components | Agent tool registry |
| Current mitigations | None specific |
| Residual risk | Low - tools are generally documented |
| Recommendations | Consider tool visibility controls |
T-DISC-002: Session data extraction
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| ATLAS ID | AML.T0040 - AI Model Inference API Access |
| Description | Attacker extracts sensitive data from session context |
| Attack vector | "What did we discuss?" queries, context checking |
| Affected components | Session transcripts, context window |
| Current mitigations | Session isolation per sender (agent:channel:peer key) |
| Residual risk | Medium - within-session data is accessible by design |
| Recommendations | Sensitive-data redaction in context |
