ft-scout@9.0.9
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a dangerous user-invoked autonomous agent rather than confirmed malware. The absence of lifecycle hooks and a concrete hidden attack lowers the verdict from malicious, but unrestricted agent execution warrants a warning.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The user runs scout agent or enables its voice or desktop features.
Impact
A compromised model response or unsafe invocation could modify or inspect user files and execute commands.
Mechanism
Autonomous agent tools invoke filesystem APIs, child processes, and native helpers.
AI rationale
This is a dangerous user-invoked autonomous agent rather than confirmed malware. The absence of lifecycle hooks and a concrete hidden attack lowers the verdict from malicious, but unrestricted agent execution warrants a warning.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The user-invoked agent command advertises autonomous shell execution.
- Its runtime accepts absolute file paths and executes supplied commands without a path boundary or approval check.
- Windows audio and desktop-control binaries are shipped and launched only through agent features.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or self-dependency.
- The email network code is reached after an explicit signup flow and sends a welcome or verification message to the supplied address.
- No source establishes covert credential theft, install-time execution, persistence, or destructive action.
