qwenproxy-cli@1.4.1
High-performance OpenAI & Anthropic compatible API gateway for Qwen with multi-account rotation, interactive TUI, and resilient tool calling.
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiAgent config mutation is real but only after an explicit sync command or TUI confirmation, and it matches the package's local gateway setup, including backups. There is no install hook, so this is a guarded capability warning rather than an unconsented install-time hijack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The user runs qpx sync, or presses Enter on the TUI sync view after selecting clients.
Impact
Selected agents are redirected to the local Qwen proxy until the user restores the backups. No install-time hijack or hidden exfiltration was found.
Mechanism
syncAllClients treats an empty target list as all clients and writes home-directory agent settings, including Claude Code and Codex, while saving a backup.
AI rationale
Agent config mutation is real but only after an explicit sync command or TUI confirmation, and it matches the package's local gateway setup, including backups. There is no install hook, so this is a guarded capability warning rather than an unconsented install-time hijack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json has build, test, and prepack scripts and no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The qpx binary dispatches the sync subcommand to the sync-clients entry, which calls syncAllClients. With no client names, every detected client is selected.
- Default destinations include ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.codex/config.toml, and an empty target list returns true for every client.
- syncCodex writes the Codex config and also the alternate ~/.codex or CODEX_HOME file. The same write is present in dist/sync-clients.js and the bundled dist/index.js used by the TUI.
Evidence against
- Those writes run only after qpx sync or Enter in the TUI sync view, not during npm install.
- Successful writes store backups, and qpx sync --restore restores them.
- The command points local coding clients at this package's own proxy, with host default 127.0.0.1.
