ft-scout@8.0.1
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install hook, and the inspected login credentials go to its fixed Firebase service. The dashboard’s unauthenticated command execution endpoint is a concrete remote code execution vulnerability, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious-package block.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the dashboard command, which starts the server on port 9120 by default.
Impact
A client able to reach the server may execute commands in the package’s working directory and access local session data.
Mechanism
A request to the command endpoint supplies a command that is interpolated into a shell string and passed to child_process.exec; the API also returns saved authentication state.
AI rationale
The package has no install hook, and the inspected login credentials go to its fixed Firebase service. The dashboard’s unauthenticated command execution endpoint is a concrete remote code execution vulnerability, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious-package block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 97.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The dashboard command starts the HTTP server when explicitly invoked.
- The server accepts dashboard API requests with wildcard cross-origin access and no visible authentication check.
- The command endpoint inserts request data into a shell command and executes it.
- The sign-in and sign-up helpers send entered credentials to the fixed Firebase Identity Toolkit endpoint.
Evidence against
- The package manifest has no install lifecycle hook.
- The inspected credential flows target the package’s configured Firebase service; no unrelated credential recipient was found.
