## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.133.8
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package has no install hook, and its flagged process execution and credential handling are part of launching a private Jcode agent runtime. Recognized provider credentials are copied locally for model access; the inspected code does not show them being exfiltrated to an unrelated host.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%

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:** No attack was identified. The package starts a Jcode agent runtime and connects it to Cotal as its intended connector function.

- **Trigger:** The host connector starts within a managed session with a control endpoint.

- **Impact:** The Jcode runtime can use the available provider logins for model access; no source path reviewed showed those credentials being sent to an unrelated collector.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T06:39:43.047Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** It copies recognized provider credential files into a private per-seat Jcode home, then launches the Jcode runtime and connects the agent to the configured Cotal control plane.

- **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, and its flagged process execution and credential handling are part of launching a private Jcode agent runtime. Recognized provider credentials are copied locally for model access; the inspected code does not show them being exfiltrated to an unrelated host.

- **Files touched:** JCODE\_HOME/config/jcode/\<name\>.env, JCODE\_HOME/external/\<credential-file\>, JCODE\_HOME/run/jcode-api.sock

- **Network endpoints:** broker.cotal.ai, cotal.ai, docs.cotal.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a JavaScript import entry and declares only typecheck, test, build, and bundle scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook., When the host runs, it mirrors recognized credential files into a private per-seat Jcode home; the code does not show those copies being sent to Cotal., The connector launches Jcode through the SDK with \`inheritLogins: false\`, avoiding a second implicit credential inheritance step., The SDK documentation explains that provider logins are needed for model access and supports starting without inherited logins.

- **Evidence against:** The host does read and copy recognized credentials from other AI tools by default, making them available to the Jcode runtime. This matches the connector’s agent-runtime purpose, but exposes those credentials to that runtime.
