## 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:** 1.2.5
- **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 has a concrete, explicit-user-command capability to alter AI-agent control settings and store a gateway credential. Static inspection found no install-time execution or confirmed credential exfiltration.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%

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 synchronization command can modify multiple installed AI-client configurations, including Codex. No unconsented install-time attack was identified.

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

- **Impact:** AI clients may be redirected to the local QwenProxy gateway until the user restores or changes their configuration.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:29:17.136Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The command selects detected clients by default, writes a QwenProxy provider and API key to their configuration, and can make that provider active.

- **Rationale:** The package has a concrete, explicit-user-command capability to alter AI-agent control settings and store a gateway credential. Static inspection found no install-time execution or confirmed credential exfiltration.

- **Files touched:** ~/.codex/config.toml

- **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:7936

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The qpx sync subcommand explicitly launches the client synchronization program., The synchronizer resolves Codex configuration under CODEX\_HOME or the user's .codex directory., When no client is selected, the sync command targets all detected clients and invokes the synchronizer., The Codex synchronizer adds or replaces a QwenProxy provider, stores an API key, and can set it as the active model provider.

- **Evidence against:** The configuration changes are activated by an explicit qpx sync command, not an npm lifecycle hook., The inspected configuration target defaults to a localhost gateway, and no hidden credential transmission was identified in this path.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.2.5 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
