ft-scout@9.4.1
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source establishes a concrete cross-origin local command-injection vulnerability, but not an install-time attack or evidence of malware intent.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs the dashboard command and then visits a hostile web page.
Impact
This can execute arbitrary commands in the user’s workspace context.
Mechanism
The hostile origin can POST a command containing shell metacharacters to the local command endpoint, where it is interpolated into exec.
AI rationale
The source establishes a concrete cross-origin local command-injection vulnerability, but not an install-time attack or evidence of malware intent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The dashboard command starts a local HTTP server.
- The server permits every web origin through a wildcard CORS policy.
- An unauthenticated POST endpoint inserts the supplied command into a shell command and executes it.
Evidence against
- There are no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hooks.
- The server is started by an explicit dashboard command rather than during package installation.
