Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 5h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiAutomatic staging of credentials from multiple unrelated tools creates a real exposure risk, and the source does not show a consent control for that transfer. I found no evidence that the copied credentials leave the local Jcode process, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
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
When the managed Jcode host starts and prepares its seat.
Impact
The launched Jcode process can access credentials belonging to other services; the inspected source does not show whether or where those credentials are transmitted.
Mechanism
It inventories credential files and Cursor state from the user's home and copies them into the Jcode seat before launching the Jcode API bridge.
AI rationale
Automatic staging of credentials from multiple unrelated tools creates a real exposure risk, and the source does not show a consent control for that transfer. I found no evidence that the copied credentials leave the local Jcode process, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
Evidence
dist/host.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The host bundles credential paths for Claude, Codex, Gemini and Cursor, including Cursor state databases.
- When the host prepares a Jcode seat, it calls mirrorJcodeCredentials before starting the Jcode instance.
- The package describes itself as a Jcode Harness API connector.
- The credential mirror implementation inventories credentials from the user's Jcode home, app config and external home.
Evidence against
- The manifest has no install, preinstall or postinstall lifecycle script.
- The inspected code shows credentials being staged for a local Jcode instance, but does not establish that the copied credentials are transmitted to an unrelated host.
- The connector's stated purpose involves launching Jcode through its Harness API bridge.
