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 package has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed credential flow stages provider credentials in a private local Jcode home for the connector's local agent. The routing hints for process execution and network access are consistent with that host function; no unrelated credential transmission or other concrete attack behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T01:33:32.523Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T01:35:31.092Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 4869 ms - **AI review time:** 112920 ms - **Total time:** 118569 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 connector stages local provider credentials for its Jcode agent and communicates with Cotal services as part of its stated function. - **Trigger:** The host behavior runs when the managed Jcode host starts; it requires a configured Cotal control endpoint. - **Impact:** The Jcode agent can use credentials available on the machine, consistent with the connector's agent-hosting purpose. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T01:35:31.092Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It mirrors available credential files into a private local Jcode home and launches a local Jcode instance. The reviewed code does not show those credentials being sent to an unrelated collector. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed credential flow stages provider credentials in a private local Jcode home for the connector's local agent. The routing hints for process execution and network access are consistent with that host function; no unrelated credential transmission or other concrete attack behavior was found. - **Files touched:** dist/host.js, .claude/.credentials.json, .codex/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** broker.cotal.ai, cotal.ai, docs.cotal.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exports dist/index.js and declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The host starts only in managed mode and refuses to run without a configured Cotal control endpoint., The host stages credentials into a private local Jcode home, then launches the Jcode instance with inherited logins disabled. - **Evidence against:** The host mirrors credentials from several AI tools, including Claude and Codex, into the local Jcode home by default when the host starts., The host includes network access to Cotal feedback and documentation services. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.140.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.140.8 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.
