Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 19h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential access is part of preparing a private Jcode seat, and the inspected flow starts a local Jcode API bridge without evidence of sending those credentials to an unrelated host. The package has no install hook, and its Cotal network paths serve feedback and documentation features.
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
The host behavior runs when the connector is launched; feedback and remote documentation requests are feature-driven.
Impact
No credential exfiltration, unrelated collection, or other malicious behavior was established.
Mechanism
The host prepares a private Jcode seat home, mirrors recognized provider credentials into it, and starts Jcode’s local API bridge. Inspected network paths are for Cotal feedback and documentation.
AI rationale
The flagged credential access is part of preparing a private Jcode seat, and the inspected flow starts a local Jcode API bridge without evidence of sending those credentials to an unrelated host. The package has no install hook, and its Cotal network paths serve feedback and documentation features.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package entry is dist/index.js; package.json defines build, bundle, typecheck, and test scripts, with no install lifecycle hook.
- Import registers a connector; its buildLaunch function returns a separate host process to run when the connector launches.
- The host mirrors recognized credential files into the seat’s private Jcode home, then starts Jcode’s local API bridge with login inheritance disabled. No unrelated credential transmission was identified.
- Feedback uses Cotal’s feedback endpoints and requires an email for keyless submissions; remote documentation is fetched from docs.cotal.ai.
Evidence against
- The host automatically reads and copies recognized local provider credential stores when it starts; this is sensitive behavior, but the inspected flow places them in the local Jcode seat home and shows no unrelated collector.
- The package includes a compressed documentation bundle that was not needed to assess the executable credential flow.
