## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.135.5
- **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 package’s connector purpose explains launching Jcode, but its host startup also automatically mirrors credentials from numerous unrelated local AI and coding tools into the managed agent’s home. I found no proof of credential exfiltration, so this is a warning for cross-service credential exposure rather than a confirmed malicious transfer.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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:** A managed Jcode agent automatically receives copies of credentials from multiple local AI and coding tools, creating cross-service credential exposure.

- **Trigger:** Startup of the managed Jcode host.

- **Impact:** The agent can act using credentials from services beyond Jcode. No unrelated outbound credential transfer was established in the inspected source.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/host.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T23:25:02.631Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The host enumerates credential files under the user home and copies them into the seat's private Jcode home before launching the agent.

- **Rationale:** The package’s connector purpose explains launching Jcode, but its host startup also automatically mirrors credentials from numerous unrelated local AI and coding tools into the managed agent’s home. I found no proof of credential exfiltration, so this is a warning for cross-service credential exposure rather than a confirmed malicious transfer.

- **Files touched:** dist/host.js, ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.gemini/oauth\_creds.json, ~/.cursor/auth.json, ~/.config/github-copilot/hosts.json, ~/.config/github-copilot/apps.json, ~/.openclaw/agent/auth.json, ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The connector enumerates credentials from Jcode and external stores, including Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenClaw, and OpenCode., It copies the discovered credential files into a per-seat Jcode home., The credential mirroring runs during managed host startup, without a separate per-provider consent check in the shown path.

- **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a connector that runs a Jcode Harness API peer, which gives the local agent a legitimate reason to use provider credentials., I found no evidence that this code sends the copied credentials to Cotal or another unrelated host; the concern is their automatic exposure to the managed agent.
