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. The package installs an in-process OpenCode plugin into a connector-created launch configuration. No install-time persistence or confirmed external credential export was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T10:30:50.708Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T10:33:14.926Z - **Download time:** 755 ms - **Static scan time:** 3772 ms - **AI review time:** 139691 ms - **Total time:** 144218 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:** The package installs an in-process OpenCode plugin into a connector-created launch configuration. No install-time persistence or confirmed external credential export was found. - **Trigger:** A caller launches a Cotal-managed OpenCode connector session. - **Impact:** A managed session gains the plugin's agent capabilities, but no confirmed attack against unrelated agent configuration was established. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/plugin/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T10:33:14.926Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher supplies plugin configuration and unrestricted permission through the process environment; the plugin activates only with a Cotal identity. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, but its active launch path grants its injected OpenCode plugin unrestricted permission. That concrete, managed agent-extension capability warrants a non-blocking warning. - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:${port} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Package metadata has test and build scripts but no npm install lifecycle hook., The two flagged byte locations are embedded usage text rather than active configuration code., On connector launch, the package creates an OpenCode configuration that enables its plugin with unrestricted permission and passes it through an environment variable., The plugin does not set up unless a Cotal identity environment value is present., The serving shim uses a loopback URL for its OpenCode server. - **Evidence against:** The launch-created OpenCode plugin is granted unrestricted permission, creating a guarded agent-extension capability. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.56.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.56.1 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.
