## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 0.141.0
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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 inspected process launches Jcode as the connector’s local harness and uses Cotal service endpoints for connector features.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T03:07:06.666Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **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.

- **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.

- **Network endpoints:** https://broker.cotal.ai/v1/feedback, https://cotal.ai/v1/feedback, https://docs.cotal.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation
