ft-scout@9.0.7
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms a locally forged pro-tier OAuth fallback and acceptance of unverified tokens. There is no lifecycle hook or confirmed secret exfiltration, so this is a critical vulnerability rather than install-time malware.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs the Holosene login flow and completes the local fallback page.
Impact
It can bypass the package's local authentication and entitlement checks.
Mechanism
Forged OAuth fallback token and unverified token acceptance.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms a locally forged pro-tier OAuth fallback and acceptance of unverified tokens. There is no lifecycle hook or confirmed secret exfiltration, so this is a critical vulnerability rather than install-time malware.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 95.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The local OAuth fallback manufactures a JWT-shaped token with a pro tier and a generated signature.
- When remote token exchange fails, supplied code is accepted as the session token without signature verification.
- The login flow persists the resulting token and user record as a Holosene session.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The email utility reads SMTP settings to send welcome messages; the inspected code does not send environment values to an attacker-controlled recipient.
- The powerful agent and update operations are reached through explicit CLI commands, not package installation.
