## 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:** 1.3.6
- **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 establishes an explicit, broad AI-client configuration capability, including credential-bearing Codex provider setup. It does not establish covert installation behavior, exfiltration, or an active attack.

## 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:** The explicit sync command can modify AI-client configuration files, including Codex configuration. No install-time attack surface was identified.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the sync command, optionally without selecting individual clients.

- **Impact:** It can redirect selected or default-detected AI clients to the local configured gateway and change their active provider.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:32:58.008Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The sync flow chooses configured client paths and writes a QwenProxy provider block with a caller-resolved API key and base URL.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes an explicit, broad AI-client configuration capability, including credential-bearing Codex provider setup. It does not establish covert installation behavior, exfiltration, or an active attack.

- **Files touched:** src/sync/codex.ts, src/sync/index.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 package exposes a user-invoked sync command., The launcher dispatches configuration synchronization only when the user supplies the sync command., When no targets are supplied, synchronization selects all supported client targets., The Codex synchronizer builds a provider configuration containing the supplied API key and base URL, then writes the target file.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The configuration mutation is reached through an explicit CLI command, not package installation., The remote-media URL helper rejects non-HTTP protocols and embedded credentials.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.3.6 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
