Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 0.48.1 - **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. A user or manager that launches this connector causes it to inject a local OpenCode plugin with allow permissions. The shim then starts OpenCode and communicates with its local server. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T19:08:48.519Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T19:10:46.108Z - **Download time:** 1286 ms - **Static scan time:** 4118 ms - **AI review time:** 112185 ms - **Total time:** 117589 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:** A user or manager that launches this connector causes it to inject a local OpenCode plugin with allow permissions. The shim then starts OpenCode and communicates with its local server. - **Trigger:** A managed OpenCode launch invokes buildLaunch and runs the returned serve shim. - **Impact:** A launched AI session receives the broad permissions configured by the connector; this is a meaningful agent-extension capability, but no unconsented install-time action or exfiltration was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/serve.js, dist/plugin.bundle.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T19:10:46.108Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** OpenCode plugin injection and local process orchestration. - **Rationale:** This is not malicious install-hook behavior, but it is a first-party agent extension that grants broad runtime capability to an AI session. The appropriate disposition is a warning rather than a publication block. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/serve.js, dist/plugin.bundle.js, .cotal/opencode/\/opencode.db, .cotal/opencode/\/serve.pid - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes a runtime entry and has no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., A managed launch injects this package's plugin into OpenCode and sets its permission mode to allow., The serve shim starts the external OpenCode executable, creates local service state, and polls only a loopback HTTP endpoint., The injected plugin activates only for managed sessions and reads launch configuration from the environment. - **Evidence against:** No install-time lifecycle hook, self-dependency, remote payload download, or credential-exfiltration path was found., The observed HTTP endpoint is restricted to 127.0.0.1 and uses a per-run random password., Process execution is limited to the configured OpenCode executable and local process inspection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.48.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.48.1 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.
