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. When a Cotal-managed OpenCode session is launched, this package injects its plugin and starts a local OpenCode service. The plugin can steer the hosted model toward Cotal-managed collaboration tools. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T06:59:47.137Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T07:00:59.903Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 3085 ms - **AI review time:** 69420 ms - **Total time:** 72766 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 package injects its plugin and starts a local OpenCode service. The plugin can steer the hosted model toward Cotal-managed collaboration tools. - **Trigger:** A Cotal manager launches the registered OpenCode connector. - **Impact:** The extension expands control over the hosted agent session and can influence tool and delegation choices; no automatic install-time compromise was found. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/serve.js, dist/plugin.bundle.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T07:00:59.903Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Managed OpenCode plugin injection, local service spawning, and model steering. - **Rationale:** This is a first-party agent extension with a permissive injected plugin configuration and explicit model steering, so it warrants a warning. There is no lifecycle hook, external exfiltration, or concrete install-time attack chain. - **Files touched:** .cotal/opencode/\/opencode.db, .cotal/opencode/\/serve.pid - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The connector launch path enables an OpenCode plugin with permissive permission settings and starts its bundled service shim., The shim starts an OpenCode child process, writes session state under the selected data root, and polls only a loopback HTTP endpoint., The bundled plugin contains steering text directing models away from their harness's built-in subagent features toward Cotal tools. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle hook., The observed service listener and HTTP polling use 127.0.0.1; no secret harvesting or external exfiltration was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.49.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.49.0 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.
