## Verdict summary
**Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse
- **Selected version:** 0.63.0
- **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.

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:** 89.0%

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:** Explicit agent launch injects configuration that allows permissions without approval. This establishes a dangerous agent capability, but no confirmed malicious attack.

- **Trigger:** A caller invokes the connector's buildLaunch method and runs the returned command.

- **Impact:** The launched agent can perform tool actions without ordinary permission approval.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/serve.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-05T05:20:51.653Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The launcher sets permission to allow in OPENCODE\_CONFIG\_CONTENT, which the spawned OpenCode server inherits.

- **Rationale:** The source supports a warning for explicit agent configuration that disables permission approvals, rather than the scanner's malware classification. There are no install lifecycle hooks, and the flagged process and socket behavior implements a local OpenCode server.

- **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 89.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** dist/index.js sets permission to allow and loads its plugin in the launched agent session., The launcher passes that configuration through OPENCODE\_CONFIG\_CONTENT to the serve helper., dist/serve.js starts OpenCode on 127.0.0.1 with inherited launch configuration., package.json has no automatic install lifecycle hooks., dist/plugin/index.js guards setup on an available identity.

- **Evidence against:** No reverse shell or covert credential export was established; the serve helper uses a local authenticated server., The indicated agent integration locations contain embedded documentation, rather than executable configuration writes.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.63.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @cotal-ai/connector-opencode@0.63.0 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.
