## 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:** 1.0.1
- **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.

The package deliberately bypasses provider anti-bot controls and offers explicit multi-client configuration takeover, which warrants a warning. The install hook only downloads its declared browser dependency, and no concrete malware chain was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0%

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:** The package installs a browser at install time and operates an authenticated Qwen proxy using anti-bot evasion. Its user-invoked sync command can redirect supported AI coding clients to the local proxy.

- **Trigger:** Package installation, CLI startup, or an explicit sync command.

- **Impact:** It can bypass provider anti-bot controls and route AI-client prompts through the local proxy and authenticated Qwen accounts.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/services/playwright.ts, src/sync/index.ts, src/sync/codex.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T17:45:22.741Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Browser automation with anti-bot evasion and AI-client configuration rewriting.

- **Rationale:** The package deliberately bypasses provider anti-bot controls and offers explicit multi-client configuration takeover, which warrants a warning. The install hook only downloads its declared browser dependency, and no concrete malware chain was found.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/qwenproxy.js, src/services/playwright.ts, src/sync/index.ts, src/sync/codex.ts

- **Network endpoints:** https://chat.qwen.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** Installation automatically downloads Chromium through a postinstall hook., The proxy installs stealth scripts explicitly intended to evade Qwen anti-bot controls., The explicit sync command can rewrite configuration for several AI coding clients and make this proxy active.

- **Evidence against:** The browser download is aligned with the declared Patchright dependency and browser-based proxy design., AI-client configuration changes occur only when the user invokes the sync command., Network traffic is directed to the configured Qwen origin; no separate undisclosed collection endpoint was found.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.0.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
