@cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.139.1
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 connector automatically makes existing provider logins available to Jcode whenever its managed host starts. That behavior fits the connector’s purpose, but the default cross-service credential handoff and the associated external Jcode host warrant warning; the inspected source does not confirm credentials are transmitted there.
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
When the managed Jcode host starts.
Impact
Existing Anthropic or OpenAI logins could be used by Jcode or sent to its service; the inspected excerpts do not establish the actual outbound credential request.
Mechanism
The host mirrors credential files into a private Jcode home, then starts the Jcode API bridge. Credential use is enabled by default.
AI rationale
The connector automatically makes existing provider logins available to Jcode whenever its managed host starts. That behavior fits the connector’s purpose, but the default cross-service credential handoff and the associated external Jcode host warrant warning; the inspected source does not confirm credentials are transmitted there.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 79.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Starting the Jcode API bridge inherits logins by default unless inheritLogins is explicitly false.
- The connector copies credential files and mirrored provider state into its private Jcode home before startup.
- The dependency scanner identifies Anthropic and OpenAI credentials alongside jcode.sh, an external host.
Evidence against
- The package is a Jcode connector; launching Jcode’s local API bridge is part of its stated purpose.
- The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the connector is exposed through a runtime import entry point.
