ft-scout@8.0.5
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes an exploitable dashboard command-execution surface but does not establish malicious install-time behavior or credential theft. It should be warned and remediated as a critical vulnerability.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs the dashboard command, starting the local sync server.
Impact
Arbitrary commands may run in the user’s current project context.
Mechanism
Unauthenticated cross-origin command execution through a local HTTP endpoint.
AI rationale
The source establishes an exploitable dashboard command-execution surface but does not establish malicious install-time behavior or credential theft. It should be warned and remediated as a critical vulnerability.

Network endpoints1
localhost:9120
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The dashboard server permits every web origin to call its API.
- Its dashboard API accepts a command string and executes it through the shell without authentication or an allowlist.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install lifecycle hook.
- The vulnerable server is started only by the explicit dashboard command.
- The email utility is invoked from the explicit signup flow and sends the supplied recipient address; no credential-harvesting exfiltration was confirmed.
