@cotal-ai/connector-jcode@0.141.3
Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 14h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiAutomatic mirroring of multiple providers' credentials into a Jcode session creates a meaningful credential exposure risk without a separate consent step for each provider. The source supports a warning, but does not establish credential transmission to a foreign host or other clear malicious behavior.
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 host.
Impact
The Jcode session may gain access to credentials for other AI and agent services without a separate per-provider consent step.
Mechanism
It inventories credential files under the user's home and copies them into the connector's Jcode home for the session.
AI rationale
Automatic mirroring of multiple providers' credentials into a Jcode session creates a meaningful credential exposure risk without a separate consent step for each provider. The source supports a warning, but does not establish credential transmission to a foreign host or other clear malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When the connector host starts, it automatically mirrors credentials into its private Jcode home.
- The mirror inventory includes credentials from Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other agent tools.
- The manifest declares no install lifecycle scripts; the credential mirroring is a runtime action.
Evidence against
- The package is a Jcode connector, and credential mirroring can support the connected Jcode session.
- The inspected code shows local credential mirroring; it does not establish that those credentials are sent to an unrelated host.
