AI-driven Threat Modeling-as-a-Code (TaaC-AI)
June 7, 2024 ยท View on GitHub
It leverages AI to analyze service descriptions, identify security threats, visualize data flow and suggest remediations based on the STRIDE framework and OWASP guidelines. The script generates in-depth HTML report and includes feature for manual risk assessment.
Design

How It Works
- YAML File Processing: Loads and validates a YAML file containing the service details
- AI Threat Analysis: If an OpenAI API key is provided, the script uses AI to generate a comprehensive threat modeling analysis
- AI Threat Cross validation: Various LLMs performs a validation results
- Data Flow Generation: Automatically generates a visual representation of the data flow within the service
- Manual Risk Management: Users can manually add, modify, or cross out risks in the generated report
- Report Generation: Produces a detailed HTML report, including both AI-generated and manually added risks
Model supported
- GPT-3.5
- GPT-4
- Claude 3 Haiku
- Mistral 7b (through ollama)
- โGemini (Planned)
Set API Key
Set the openai api key as an environment variable OPENAI_KEY and ANTHROPIC_KEY in your operating system
Linux/Mac
export OPENAI_KEY=sk-ApiKeyExample
export ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-ant-api03-ApiKeyExample
Windows
set OPENAI_KEY=sk-ApiKeyExample
set ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-ant-api03-ApiKeyExample
Install dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Install Mistral and Ollama
- Download and install Ollama ollama.ai
- Install Mistral
ollama pull mistral
- Start ollama service (make sure the Ollama desktop app is closed)
ollama serve
Now you can use mistral as the main model:
python3 TaaC-AI.py --model mistral <path_to_yaml_file>
Or for cross-validation
python3 TaaC-AI.py --model claude --cross-validation mistral <path_to_yaml_file>
How to Use โ
- Create a valid service description using these guidelines or use
taac_yaml_generator.pythat will guide you through the process of generating one

- Execute the script (GPT-3.5 is used by default)
python3 TaaC-AI.py <path_to_yaml_file>
Use gpt-4, claude or mistral as a model to identify threats by specifying the --model option
python3 TaaC-AI.py --model gpt-4 <path_to_yaml_file>
To perform Threats result validation by another LLM use --cross-validation option.
python3 TaaC-AI.py --model claude --cross-validation claude <path_to_yaml_file>
- Open generate .html report
- Review/Edit AI-driven Threat Modeling Analysis table, and for false positives or resolved issues, mark the 'Status' checkbox
- Add manually identified threats to the table (optional)
