Reconnaissance (AML.TA0002)
Threats in the reconnaissance tactic (AML.TA0002) 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-RECON-001: Agent endpoint discovery
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| ATLAS ID | AML.T0006 - Active Scanning |
| Description | Attacker scans for exposed OpenClaw gateway endpoints |
| Attack vector | Network scanning, Shodan queries, DNS enumeration |
| Affected components | Gateway, exposed API endpoints |
| Current mitigations | Tailscale auth option, bind to loopback by default |
| Residual risk | Medium - public gateways discoverable |
| Recommendations | Document secure deployment, add rate limiting on discovery endpoints |
T-RECON-002: Channel integration probing
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| ATLAS ID | AML.T0006 - Active Scanning |
| Description | Attacker probes messaging channels to identify AI-managed accounts |
| Attack vector | Sending test messages, observing response patterns |
| Affected components | All channel integrations |
| Current mitigations | None specific |
| Residual risk | Low - limited value from discovery alone |
| Recommendations | Consider response timing randomization |
