ft-scout@9.4.5
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 29d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe QR bridge has a concrete unauthenticated authentication-state replacement risk, supporting a warning. The inspected evidence does not establish a malicious attack chain or behavior that warrants blocking publication.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts QR pairing and a network-reachable caller sends a pair request to the bridge.
Impact
A caller able to reach the bridge may overwrite the CLI’s local account identity and token state.
Mechanism
The bridge accepts caller-supplied account fields, creates authentication state, and saves it locally without validating a pairing secret.
AI rationale
The QR bridge has a concrete unauthenticated authentication-state replacement risk, supporting a warning. The inspected evidence does not establish a malicious attack chain or behavior that warrants blocking publication.
Evidence
bin/src/utils/qrBridge.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- During QR pairing, the CLI starts an HTTP bridge that accepts pair requests without checking a pairing secret and listens on all network interfaces.
- The pair handler builds authentication state from request fields and saves it locally, allowing a reachable caller to replace the CLI’s local account state.
Evidence against
- The manifest exposes a user-run CLI and declares no install lifecycle hook.
- The inspected sign-in code sends the supplied email and password to Firebase Identity Toolkit, the configured authentication service.
