@cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.133.4
Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe host automatically copies credentials for several unrelated AI-agent tools into the Jcode runtime it starts. The source does not show those credentials being sent remotely, but this broad default credential access is a real risk.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The connector host starts.
Impact
The bridge can access those other service logins. The reviewed source does not establish that the credentials are transmitted remotely.
Mechanism
The host copies discovered credential files into its private Jcode home, then launches a local Jcode bridge with that home.
AI rationale
The host automatically copies credentials for several unrelated AI-agent tools into the Jcode runtime it starts. The source does not show those credentials being sent remotely, but this broad default credential access is a real risk.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- At connector host startup, the code mirrors credentials into its private Jcode home.
- The mirrored files include credentials for Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other agent tools.
- The host launches a local Jcode API bridge using the prepared home.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook.
- The reviewed package source does not show the mirrored credentials being sent to a remote host.
