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's host enables credential inheritance by default, including credentials belonging to other AI tools, and stages them for a Jcode instance. This creates a meaningful credential-sharing risk, but the inspected source does not show those credentials being sent to an unrelated host, so the evidence does not support blocking as malicious.
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 host launches its Jcode API bridge with login inheritance enabled (the default).
Impact
The Jcode instance can use credentials from other AI tools; the inspected excerpts do not establish where those credentials are subsequently sent.
Mechanism
It copies or links Jcode credential files and recognized external credential files into the instance home before spawning the local bridge.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 79.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package describes itself as a Cotal connector that runs a Jcode Harness API bridge.
- The host copies or links credentials from Jcode configuration and other tools, including Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor.
- Credential inheritance is enabled by default when the host launches the local Jcode API bridge.
- A separate host launch path explicitly disables login inheritance, showing that credential sharing is a configurable behavior.
Evidence against
- There are no install lifecycle scripts in the manifest.
- The inspected credential flow copies or links files into a local Jcode instance home and starts a local API bridge; this review did not establish an outbound credential request.
