ft-scout@6.0.5
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete cross-origin local remote-code-execution vulnerability, although it is activated only when the user starts the dashboard. The inspected manifest contains no automatic install lifecycle hook or self-dependency chain.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the dashboard command and then visits, or has open, a malicious website.
Impact
Remote command execution with the permissions of the user running the dashboard, in the current project directory.
Mechanism
Wildcard CORS plus unsanitized shell-command interpolation.
AI rationale
This is a concrete cross-origin local remote-code-execution vulnerability, although it is activated only when the user starts the dashboard. The inspected manifest contains no automatic install lifecycle hook or self-dependency chain.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 98.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The dashboard server allows any web origin to make requests.
- Its unauthenticated API accepts a command string from POST data.
- That command is interpolated into a shell command and executed in the current project directory.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The email code sends a welcome message only after the explicit signup flow; it does not harvest environment values for transmission.
- No runtime dependency on ft-scout is declared.
