## 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:** 1.0.4
- **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.

This is an explicit-user-command AI-agent configuration mutator with shell-based runtime installs, so it warrants a warning. Static inspection found no automatic lifecycle hook or concrete malicious payload.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%

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:** An explicit sync command changes several AI coding-client configurations and points them at the local QwenProxy service. The normal CLI path can also install a browser dependency when Chromium is missing.

- **Trigger:** The user runs qwenproxy sync, or starts the CLI without an installed Patchright Chromium binary.

- **Impact:** The sync operation can redirect supported AI clients to QwenProxy and set Codex's active provider; browser installation downloads executable browser assets.

- **Evidence paths:** bin/qwenproxy.js, src/sync/index.ts, src/sync/codex.ts, src/update-cli.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T20:20:04.489Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Agent configuration rewriting and shell-based dependency installation.

- **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command AI-agent configuration mutator with shell-based runtime installs, so it warrants a warning. Static inspection found no automatic lifecycle hook or concrete malicious payload.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc, ~/.omp/agent/models.yml, bin/qwenproxy.js, src/sync/index.ts, src/sync/codex.ts

- **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1, chat.qwen.ai

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The explicit sync command can create or rewrite Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and OMP configuration files., Syncing Codex inserts a QwenProxy provider, bearer token, and makes it the active model by default., Every CLI launch may invoke npx through a shell to install Chromium if it is absent., The explicit update command queries npm and runs a global package-manager update through a shell.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The agent configuration changes are reachable through the separately named sync command, which offers restore and target-selection options., The observed network use is for the Qwen proxy service or an explicitly requested update; no secret collection or unrelated exfiltration path was found.
