ft-scout@8.0.4
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe dashboard contains a concrete unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability when the user starts it. The source supports a warning for a critical vulnerability, but does not establish malicious install-time behavior.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts the dashboard with the CLI, normally on port 9120.
Impact
An attacker able to reach the listener may run commands with the user's privileges and access local files.
Mechanism
The server accepts POST requests to its command route, inserts the supplied command into a shell command string, and executes it. The server sets an allow-all origin policy and does not authenticate this route.
AI rationale
The dashboard contains a concrete unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability when the user starts it. The source supports a warning for a critical vulnerability, but does not establish malicious install-time behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 98.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When a user starts the dashboard, it exposes a command endpoint that accepts POST requests and allows cross-origin access.
- The endpoint inserts request data into a shell command and executes it without authentication, creating a remote code execution risk while the dashboard is running.
- The inspected login and signup flows send credentials to the fixed Firebase identity service; signup verification sends its token to Firebase’s verification endpoint.
- The package manifest defines CLI entry points and no install lifecycle hooks.
Evidence against
- The execution route requires the user to start the dashboard; the inspected code does not show it starting during installation.
- The flagged credential transfers are directed to Firebase authentication and verification endpoints, not an unrelated recipient.
