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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T00:29:59.226Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T00:31:42.889Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 5289 ms - **AI review time:** 97856 ms - **Total time:** 103663 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:** qpx sync and the TUI sync confirmation rewrite configuration for several third-party coding agents so they use this local proxy. npm install does not perform those writes. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** bin/qwenproxy.js, src/sync-clients.ts, src/sync/index.ts, src/sync/codex.ts, dist/sync-clients.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:31:42.889Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/config.toml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to qwenproxy-cli@1.4.1. - Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.4.1 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.
