Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The connector automatically makes several other AI providers' credentials available to Jcode when its host starts, without a separate opt-in. This is a meaningful credential-delegation risk, but the inspected source does not prove the credentials are sent to an unrelated host, so the finding is suspicious rather than malicious. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T01:34:21.739Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T01:35:11.573Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 4748 ms - **AI review time:** 44566 ms - **Total time:** 49834 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Host startup stages credentials from other AI tools into Jcode's private home, giving the Jcode process access to those accounts. - **Trigger:** Automatic when the connector host starts. - **Impact:** Jcode can act using credentials for other AI providers without a separate opt-in. The inspected source does not show those credentials being exfiltrated to an unrelated endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** dist/host.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T01:35:11.573Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The host enumerates external credential files under the user's home and mirrors them into its Jcode home before launching the Harness API bridge. - **Rationale:** The connector automatically makes several other AI providers' credentials available to Jcode when its host starts, without a separate opt-in. This is a meaningful credential-delegation risk, but the inspected source does not prove the credentials are sent to an unrelated host, so the finding is suspicious rather than malicious. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.gemini/oauth\_creds.json, ~/.cursor/auth.json, ~/.config/cursor/auth.json, private Jcode home: external/\ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The host enumerates credential files for external AI tools, including Claude, Codex, Gemini and Cursor., Its credential inventory reads from the user's home directory and maps credentials into a Jcode home., When the host starts, it calls the credential mirroring routine before preparing the Jcode session. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a Cotal connector for Jcode's Harness API bridge, which is consistent with launching Jcode., The inspected code shows local credential staging for Jcode; it does not establish that these credentials are sent to an unrelated host., The launcher disables the SDK's own login inheritance, so the observed staging is performed by the connector's explicit mirroring code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.133.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.133.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
