Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install-time hook and exposes a connector entry point for managed Jcode sessions. The host’s credential setup serves the Jcode agent workflow; I found no transfer to an unrelated collector or other concrete attack behavior.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The host starts when invoked by the Cotal agent runtime; there is no install hook.
Impact
The inspected behavior supports the connector's stated purpose; no unrelated credential transfer or other attack behavior was found.
Mechanism
It starts a private Jcode API bridge for the configured session and connects through the supplied Cotal control endpoint.
AI rationale
The package has no install-time hook and exposes a connector entry point for managed Jcode sessions. The host’s credential setup serves the Jcode agent workflow; I found no transfer to an unrelated collector or other concrete attack behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exports its connector through dist/index.js and declares no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are for build, typecheck, and tests.
- The connector prepares a managed Jcode host invocation using configured control and credential material.
- The host requires a managed Cotal control endpoint before startup and launches its private Jcode bridge with inheritLogins:false.
- Feedback requests use Cotal endpoints, and remote documentation refreshes are version-pinned to docs.cotal.ai.
