## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 14 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.133.9
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%

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:** Starting the connector’s Jcode bridge can make credentials from other AI tools available to the Jcode process.

- **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.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/host.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-43cf650b-0922-4f8b-a28c-0428a2ef08a4/0/npm-linux/dist/launch.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T08:14:20.767Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The helper links selected credential files from the user’s home directory into a temporary JCODE\_HOME used by the spawned Jcode process.

- **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.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.gemini/oauth\_creds.json, $JCODE\_HOME/external/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation
