Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 12h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged credential flow supports the package's stated Jcode connector function, and the reviewed source shows no unrelated credential exfiltration. The package declares no lifecycle hooks, and its network use includes fetching documentation from the Cotal service.
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 connector host runs when launched by its integrating application; documentation fetches occur when the documentation feature is used.
Impact
Expected connector behavior: the launched Jcode instance can use the user's provider logins, while documentation content can be retrieved from the Cotal service.
Mechanism
The launcher copies or links provider credential files into the Jcode instance home and starts Jcode's api-bridge process. The host can fetch remote documentation pages.
AI rationale
The flagged credential flow supports the package's stated Jcode connector function, and the reviewed source shows no unrelated credential exfiltration. The package declares no lifecycle hooks, and its network use includes fetching documentation from the Cotal service.
Evidence
Jcode instance home and its credential/config files

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package describes itself as a Cotal connector that runs a Jcode host-mode mesh peer through its Harness API bridge.
- The Jcode launcher gives a launched instance the user's provider logins by copying or linking credential files into its instance home.
- The host starts Jcode's api-bridge process with the instance-specific JCODE_HOME and socket settings.
- The host fetches remote documentation pages when that feature is used.
Evidence against
- No install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle scripts are declared.
- Credential inheritance is part of launching Jcode, the package's stated purpose; the reviewed excerpts show no forwarding of those credentials to an unrelated collector.
