ft-scout@9.4.7
FrontTerrain — The Onboarding Co-Pilot for New Codebases
AI Security Review
scanned 22d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete authentication bypass, limited to the period when a user starts QR login. The available threat categories do not include network authentication bypass, so the closest accurate threat type is unknown.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user starts QR login, activating the pairing listener.
Impact
A reachable party can replace the CLI's saved authentication profile with a profile it supplies.
Mechanism
The listener accepts pair requests from any reachable host without validating the pairing code and trusts the submitted token and user data.
AI rationale
This is a concrete authentication bypass, limited to the period when a user starts QR login. The available threat categories do not include network authentication bypass, so the closest accurate threat type is unknown.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 97.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and has no install lifecycle hook.
- QR pairing starts only when the login command receives a QR option.
- While pairing is active, the listener binds to all interfaces and accepts pair requests without checking the pairing code; the status route reveals that code.
- The pair handler trusts the request token and user data, then saves the resulting authentication configuration.
- The authentication helper writes that configuration to the user's local authentication file.
