ft-scout@8.0.6
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete, user-triggered remote-command-execution vulnerability, but the package has no automatic install hook and the dashboard is not started on installation. The source does not establish malicious intent.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs `scout dashboard` or an alias.
Impact
A reachable client can execute shell commands in the current project and retrieve local authentication data.
Mechanism
Unauthenticated HTTP command injection into child_process.exec.
AI rationale
This is a concrete, user-triggered remote-command-execution vulnerability, but the package has no automatic install hook and the dashboard is not started on installation. The source does not establish malicious intent.
Evidence

Network endpoints1
localhost:9120
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 97.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The explicit dashboard command starts an HTTP server.
- The server allows every web origin and has unauthenticated API routes.
- A posted command is appended to a shell command and executed.
- The status route returns the complete local authentication configuration.
Evidence against
- package.json has no install lifecycle hook or self-dependency.
- The vulnerable server starts only after the user runs the dashboard command.
- The email code sends a welcome message only during the user-invoked signup flow.
