@cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.135.18
Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe host automatically discovers and mirrors credentials from multiple unrelated AI tools before launching Jcode. That may support Jcode’s provider integration, but the broad, default credential access creates a real risk without clear per-source consent; the inspected source does not prove credential exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
When a managed Jcode host session starts.
Impact
The Jcode process can use credentials from other tools. The inspected source does not establish transmission to an unintended host or an unrequested account action.
Mechanism
The host copies discovered credential files into its private Jcode home, then launches Jcode against that home.
AI rationale
The host automatically discovers and mirrors credentials from multiple unrelated AI tools before launching Jcode. That may support Jcode’s provider integration, but the broad, default credential access creates a real risk without clear per-source consent; the inspected source does not prove credential exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When the host starts, it mirrors detected credentials into its private Jcode home before launching the Jcode instance.
- The mirrored credential inventory includes authentication files for Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenClaw, OpenCode, and other tools.
- The connector starts a Jcode child using that prepared home; the child can access the mirrored credentials, although the source does not establish that they are sent to an unintended host.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no install lifecycle scripts; its scripts are for typechecking, testing, and building.
- The package is a Jcode connector, and the credential mirror is placed in a private, per-seat Jcode home for that integration.
- The inspected code does not show the mirrored credentials being transmitted to an unrelated collector.
