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. Client configuration changes are a real, broad agent-control capability, but they run only after an explicit sync command and point at the local proxy with backups. There is no install hook, hidden recipient, or automatic persistence chain that would justify a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 74.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T00:27:06.481Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T00:28:14.793Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 1722 ms - **AI review time:** 65569 ms - **Total time:** 68312 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:** An explicit sync command rewrites home-directory configuration for several third-party coding agents so they use this local proxy and its API key. The rewrite does not run from an npm install lifecycle hook. - **Trigger:** The user runs qpx sync, npm run sync, or the interactive TUI sync action. - **Impact:** After that command, those agents send model traffic through the configured proxy, which defaults to 127.0.0.1, using the written local API key. Install-time hijack and outbound secret upload were not found in this path. - **Evidence paths:** src/sync/index.ts, src/sync/claude-code.ts, src/sync-clients.ts, bin/qwenproxy.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:28:14.793Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** syncAllClients writes each selected client file, and with an empty target list it selects every client. Claude settings receive the proxy base URL and the resolved API key, with a timestamped backup kept first. - **Rationale:** Client configuration changes are a real, broad agent-control capability, but they run only after an explicit sync command and point at the local proxy with backups. There is no install hook, hidden recipient, or automatic persistence chain that would justify a publish block. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .codex/config.toml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; client sync is an explicit npm script and CLI command., The qpx binary routes the sync argument to src/sync-clients.ts and does not sync on the default TUI or server launch., Default sync paths include foreign agent files such as ~/.claude/settings.json and Codex config.toml., With no client filter, syncAllClients returns true for every supported client and rewrites each config., Claude Code sync writes ANTHROPIC\_BASE\_URL and ANTHROPIC\_AUTH\_TOKEN into that settings file after a timestamp backup., src/sync-clients.ts calls syncAllClients from the user-run sync command and passes the chosen API key, host, and targets. - **Evidence against:** Sync is reached only after the user runs qpx sync, npm run sync, or the TUI sync action., The default base URL is the local proxy host 127.0.0.1 on the configured port., Existing client files are copied to timestamped backups and a restore command rewrites them back., The self-update path runs only for the update subcommand and installs this same package name from the npm registry. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to qwenproxy-cli@1.2.4. - Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.2.4 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.
