Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged process execution and credential access are used to start an isolated Jcode API bridge and provide its expected login material. The inspected source shows no unrelated credential collection, install-time behavior, or account action selected by the publisher. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T23:28:46.015Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T23:29:23.231Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 4935 ms - **AI review time:** 31515 ms - **Total time:** 37216 ms 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:** No attack was identified. The package exposes a Jcode connector that launches a local Jcode API bridge and prepares an isolated runtime home. - **Trigger:** Connector host startup; credentials are inherited when the helper option is enabled, which defaults to true. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was established in the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T23:29:23.231Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The helper copies Jcode login material into the per-instance JCODE\_HOME and starts Jcode's api-bridge using a local socket. The reviewed flow does not show credential transmission to an unrelated host. - **Rationale:** The flagged process execution and credential access are used to start an isolated Jcode API bridge and provide its expected login material. The inspected source shows no unrelated credential collection, install-time behavior, or account action selected by the publisher. - **Files touched:** Jcode instance home under the system temporary directory, Jcode runtime socket under the instance home ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exports its connector through dist/index.js and declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hooks., The host helper launches Jcode's api-bridge with an isolated JCODE\_HOME and socket, consistent with the package's Jcode connector purpose., Credential inheritance is an explicit helper option and copies credentials into the Jcode instance home; the inspected flow does not show them being sent to an unrelated collector. - **Evidence against:** The host bundle contains process execution and environment access, which are relevant capabilities but appear in the Jcode bridge and system integration code., The scanner reports source similarity to known malware and a compressed documentation blob; those signals did not establish harmful behavior in the inspected flows. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.140.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.140.3 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
