## 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:** 1.3.0
- **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 source supports a guarded, explicit-user-command configuration mutation of AI-agent clients. No install hook or concrete covert exfiltration behavior was found, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-28T00:31:22.556Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-28T00:32:26.596Z

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 explicit sync command can alter AI-client configuration, including Codex. No unconsented install-time attack surface was identified.

- **Trigger:** A user runs qpx sync or its equivalent sync command.

- **Impact:** It can redirect selected AI clients to the local QwenProxy gateway and store the supplied gateway key in their configuration.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:32:26.596Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The command selects detected clients, writes provider settings, and can set the configured model active.

- **Rationale:** The source supports a guarded, explicit-user-command configuration mutation of AI-agent clients. No install hook or concrete covert exfiltration behavior was found, so this warrants a warning rather than a block.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The qpx command routes an explicit sync subcommand to the client-configuration program., The sync command invokes synchronization with all detected clients when no target is supplied., The Codex synchronizer writes a QwenProxy provider block containing a supplied API key and base URL to the Codex configuration., The Codex target is included in the synchronization flow and is set active by default.

- **Evidence against:** No npm install lifecycle hook was found in package metadata., The configuration mutation is activated by an explicit qpx sync command, not package installation., Remote media URL validation rejects non-HTTP(S), credential-bearing, local, and private destinations.

## Affected versions and remediation
