Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 1.4.2 - **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. This is an explicit-user-command agent configuration capability, not proven malware. Its default all-target behavior and credential-bearing provider writes create a real guarded control-surface risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T00:30:18.070Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T00:33:27.194Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 5407 ms - **AI review time:** 183203 ms - **Total time:** 189124 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:** The explicit sync command can alter configuration for multiple AI clients, including Codex. No unconsented install-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** The user runs qpx sync or the equivalent sync script. - **Impact:** This can redirect configured AI clients to the selected local or caller-specified provider; no confirmed credential exfiltration or automatic attack was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:33:27.194Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command creates or updates provider settings, including a bearer token and base URL, and defaults to all detected targets when none are selected. - **Rationale:** This is an explicit-user-command agent configuration capability, not proven malware. Its default all-target behavior and credential-bearing provider writes create a real guarded control-surface risk. - **Files touched:** ~/.codex/config.toml, $CODEX\_HOME/config.toml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes an explicit sync command and has only a prepack lifecycle hook in the inspected scripts., The qpx launcher dispatches the explicit sync subcommand to the sync client program., A sync without selected targets processes every supported detected client, including Codex., The Codex sync code writes a provider configuration containing the supplied API key and selected base URL, and can update alternate Codex configuration locations., The distributed sync bundle implements the same provider configuration behavior., No install-time hook or automatic execution path was found in the inspected manifest and launcher code. - **Evidence against:** The configuration change requires the user to run the sync command., The inspected behavior configures a local provider and did not show a network send of an existing third-party credential. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to qwenproxy-cli@1.4.2. - Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.4.2 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.
