ft-scout@9.0.3
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 13d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource review found expected authentication, signup email, search, and user-invoked agent behavior, with no package install hook or unrelated credential recipient. The scanner's credential and bundle flags did not establish an attack in the inspected source.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user invokes a CLI command such as signup, login, search, or agent.
Impact
No unauthorized credential transfer, account action, or other confirmed attack impact was found.
Mechanism
Authentication uses Firebase, signup mail goes to the supplied address through configured mail providers, and the agent applies approval checks to classified actions.
AI rationale
Source review found expected authentication, signup email, search, and user-invoked agent behavior, with no package install hook or unrelated credential recipient. The scanner's credential and bundle flags did not establish an attack in the inspected source.
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 89.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- package.json declares only test and build scripts and points the CLI to bin/ft.js; the launcher imports the CLI entrypoint.
- Login and signup send credentials to the package's Firebase Identity Toolkit endpoint; login stores the returned session token in local auth configuration.
- Signup email delivery uses configured provider credentials and sends welcome or verification mail to the signup address; Firebase verification requests go to Firebase.
- Search API keys are used by the web-search function for its named search providers.
- The agent runs through an invoked CLI workflow, and actions classified as requiring approval prompt for approval unless auto-approval is explicitly supplied.
- The bundled archive analysis describes source and metadata files; no loader for the archive was found in the package.
