This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No attack was identified. The package is a user-invoked OpenCode connector that registers a local launcher and, when that launcher runs, starts opencode on 127.0.0.1 and joins a mesh only if the launcher supplied an identity. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T15:02:48.448Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T15:04:00.350Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 3305 ms - **AI review time:** 67831 ms - **Total time:** 71902 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:** No attack was identified. The package is a user-invoked OpenCode connector that registers a local launcher and, when that launcher runs, starts opencode on 127.0.0.1 and joins a mesh only if the launcher supplied an identity. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes the connector launch, which executes dist/serve.js. Importing dist/index.js only registers the connector and does not start a process. - **Impact:** No install-time file or agent-config mutation, secret harvesting, or unsolicited remote execution was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T15:04:00.350Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** serve.js spawns the local opencode binary bound to loopback. The bundled plugin returns immediately without a COTAL identity and otherwise talks to the configured local OpenCode server. - **Rationale:** Inspection of package.json and the three published bundles shows no npm lifecycle hook and no import-time launch. Process spawn and mesh join happen only through the connector launch path and stay on the local OpenCode server unless the operator configured a mesh. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; the published entry is dist/index.js., dist/index.js only registers an OpenCode connector; a launch returns the local Node serve shim rather than a remote command., dist/serve.js spawns the opencode binary as serve bound to 127.0.0.1 and writes a pid file under the launcher-supplied agent home., dist/plugin.bundle.js leaves the mesh when no launcher identity is set and calls OpenCode HTTP only on the configured local server URL. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.50.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.50.1 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.
