@cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.140.4
Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 23h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe connector automatically makes credentials from several other AI and developer tools available to its Jcode runtime. That creates a meaningful credential exposure risk, but the inspected source does not establish an onward transmission or prove malicious intent.
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
Starting the connector’s private Jcode process.
Impact
Jcode can use credentials from other services; the inspected source does not establish whether or where those credentials are transmitted.
Mechanism
It finds credential files in the user’s home directory and links them into the isolated Jcode instance home.
AI rationale
The connector automatically makes credentials from several other AI and developer tools available to its Jcode runtime. That creates a meaningful credential exposure risk, but the inspected source does not establish an onward transmission or prove malicious intent.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The host code enumerates credentials for Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenClaw, and other agent tools.
- When preparing a separate Jcode instance home, the code links discovered external credential files into that home.
- The connector launches a private Jcode process, which can access the credentials linked into its instance home.
Evidence against
- The package is a Jcode connector, and making credentials available to its Jcode process may support the connector’s intended model-provider use.
- The inspected excerpts do not show those credentials being sent to a remote host.
