@cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.133.9
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 connector launches Jcode with login inheritance enabled, including credentials from other AI tools, without clear package-level disclosure of that sharing. I found no source evidence that the credentials are sent to an unrelated host, so this is a warning rather than a malicious finding.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
When the connector launches the API bridge; login inheritance defaults to enabled.
Impact
Those provider credentials become available to Jcode, but the reviewed source does not establish that they are transmitted to an unrelated host.
Mechanism
The helper links selected credential files from the user’s home directory into a temporary JCODE_HOME used by the spawned Jcode process.
AI rationale
The connector launches Jcode with login inheritance enabled, including credentials from other AI tools, without clear package-level disclosure of that sharing. I found no source evidence that the credentials are sent to an unrelated host, so this is a warning rather than a malicious finding.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package exports dist/index.js and describes itself as a connector driven through Jcode’s Harness API bridge.
- The spawned API bridge inherits user logins by default and starts with JCODE_HOME pointing to its instance directory.
- The helper links credentials from other AI tools, including Claude and Codex, into that Jcode instance.
- The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle scripts.
Evidence against
- Credential inheritance is implemented by the Jcode SDK helper and appears intended to let Jcode use configured provider logins.
- The package description identifies the Jcode Harness API bridge as its purpose; the source reviewed does not establish that credentials are sent to an unrelated collector.
