## 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:** 1.2.1
- **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.

This is a guarded, explicit-user-command AI-client configuration capability rather than malware. It warrants a warning because it can change multiple agent configurations and defaults to detected clients, but static inspection found no install-time trigger or confirmed malicious attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-27T02:31:32.242Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-27T02:32:39.264Z
- **Download time:** 780 ms
- **Static scan time:** 1622 ms
- **AI review time:** 64619 ms
- **Total time:** 67022 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 unconsented install-time attack was identified. An explicit sync command can modify several installed AI-client configurations to use the local QwenProxy gateway.

- **Trigger:** The user runs the qpx sync command or the sync script.

- **Impact:** It can change the active provider for detected AI clients after the user invokes synchronization; no confirmed covert exfiltration or lifecycle-triggered mutation was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T02:32:39.264Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The synchronizer selects client configuration paths, creates backups where applicable, and writes provider settings that point at the configured local gateway.

- **Rationale:** This is a guarded, explicit-user-command AI-client configuration capability rather than malware. It warrants a warning because it can change multiple agent configurations and defaults to detected clients, but static inspection found no install-time trigger or confirmed malicious attack.

- **Files touched:** src/sync/index.ts, src/sync/codex.ts

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes a command-line entry point and has no install lifecycle hook., The command-line launcher enters the synchronization program only when the user supplies the sync command., The synchronization command invokes client synchronization, defaulting to all detected clients when none are selected., Synchronization targets existing AI-client configuration locations, including Codex configuration., The Codex synchronizer adds a QwenProxy provider, local base URL, and bearer-token setting to that configuration., The updater is an explicit command function, not an install-time hook.

## Affected versions and remediation
