Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-05T00:06:17.891Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-05T00:07:16.689Z - **Download time:** 766 ms - **Static scan time:** 4087 ms - **AI review time:** 53945 ms - **Total time:** 58798 ms 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:** When a Cotal-managed OpenCode session is launched, this connector starts OpenCode with its bundled plugin and an unrestricted permission setting. Its network activity in the inspected shim is loopback-only. - **Trigger:** A Cotal manager invokes the registered OpenCode connector to build and run a managed session. - **Impact:** The launched AI session may receive broad tool permissions through the host configuration; no theft or remote command-and-control was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/serve.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T00:07:16.689Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Injects an unrestricted OpenCode plugin configuration and launches a local OpenCode server. - **Rationale:** The reverse-shell signal is a false positive: the child process and HTTP requests implement a local OpenCode server and client. The unconditional unrestricted AI permission is still a meaningful dangerous capability, so this release should be warned rather than blocked. - **Files touched:** .cotal/opencode/\/opencode.db, .cotal/opencode/\/serve.pid - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The connector creates an OpenCode configuration with unrestricted permission and injects its plugin., A managed launch runs the bundled serve shim, which starts the selected OpenCode binary., The shim exposes only a randomly selected loopback HTTP server and stores its PID under the configured workspace. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The observed HTTP polling is limited to 127.0.0.1., No source evidence shows secret exfiltration, remote payload download, or destructive behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.41.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.41.4 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
