## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 1.5.1
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected cloud metadata reference belongs to a blocked-host list. Credential flow and runtime behavior across the large bundled entrypoint are not resolved well enough to support a clean or warning verdict.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 67.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-25T21:32:54.311Z

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:** No concrete attack was established from the inspected excerpts. Credential-transfer destinations and the full runtime call paths remain unresolved.

- **Trigger:** Unresolved; the reviewed source windows do not establish a complete activating path.

- **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact; additional source tracing is needed to resolve the remaining runtime behavior.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T21:34:14.547Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The available excerpts show client configuration writes and credential-related code, but do not establish an unconsented transfer or other attack behavior.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected cloud metadata reference belongs to a blocked-host list. Credential flow and runtime behavior across the large bundled entrypoint are not resolved well enough to support a clean or warning verdict.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 67.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook and exposes the CLI through bin/qwenproxy.js., The cloud metadata hostname appears in a blocked-host list for remote media URLs., The inspected client-sync code writes configuration during sync, but the relevant target locations do not establish the full activation and consent path., The available credential-related excerpts show cookie construction, but do not resolve every credential transfer caller or destination.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI dispatches sync, cache cleanup, and chat purge as explicit commands., The updater checks the npm registry and constructs a global update command when invoked.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to qwenproxy-cli@1.5.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.5.1 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.
