ft-scout@7.0.6
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo install-time malicious behavior is present, but the explicitly started dashboard contains a concrete unauthenticated cross-origin credential disclosure and remote command-execution vulnerability. This is a critical security defect rather than sufficient evidence of malicious package intent.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user runs scout dashboard or ft dashboard while visiting a malicious website.
Impact
The website can steal stored tokens and execute arbitrary commands in the project context.
Mechanism
Unauthenticated cross-origin access to credential disclosure and shell command execution.
AI rationale
No install-time malicious behavior is present, but the explicitly started dashboard contains a concrete unauthenticated cross-origin credential disclosure and remote command-execution vulnerability. This is a critical security defect rather than sufficient evidence of malicious package intent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 98.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The dashboard enables cross-origin requests from any website.
- Its status route returns the complete local authentication configuration to unauthenticated callers.
- Its command route places request data in a shell command and executes it in the current project.
- The vulnerable server starts when the user runs the dashboard command.
Evidence against
- package.json has no install lifecycle hook.
- The server is started by an explicit CLI dashboard action rather than on package installation.
- The email code is called after an explicit account-signup flow and sends to the supplied address.
