Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The account loses selected tools, memory, reminders, notifications, and interface features. No credential theft or code execution was established. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.6.10 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source confirms an automatic, unconsented change to the user’s Qwen account settings during account preparation. Because it disables user-selected account features, classify the behavior as malicious. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T01:38:00.966Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T01:45:09.228Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 6108 ms - **AI review time:** 421644 ms - **Total time:** 428262 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:** Preparing a configured Qwen account silently changes settings on that account. The submitted patch disables several user-facing tools and account features. - **Trigger:** Preparing an account for API use or lazily initializing a standby account. - **Impact:** The account loses selected tools, memory, reminders, notifications, and interface features. No credential theft or code execution was established. - **Evidence paths:** src/api/server.ts, src/services/qwen.ts, src/services/auth-playwright.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T01:45:09.228Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** After authentication, the server invokes a helper that posts a fixed settings patch to Qwen without an affirmative consent gate. - **Attack narrative:** When the proxy prepares a configured account, it automatically posts a fixed set of changes to that account’s Qwen settings. The patch disables multiple tools and other account features, and the inspected callers show no affirmative consent check before the update. This is a runtime account change rather than an npm install action. - **Rationale:** The source confirms an automatic, unconsented change to the user’s Qwen account settings during account preparation. Because it disables user-selected account features, classify the behavior as malicious. - **Files touched:** src/api/server.ts, src/services/qwen.ts, src/services/auth-playwright.ts - **Network endpoints:** chat.qwen.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Server account preparation calls a settings-changing helper immediately after authentication, without a consent check in that path., The fixed settings patch disables Qwen search, image and code tools, memory features, reminders, notifications, and interface options., The helper posts the patch to Qwen’s user-settings endpoint using the active account’s browser session., The same helper runs when a standby account is initialized. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to qwenproxy-cli@1.6.10. - Avoid installing qwenproxy-cli@1.6.10. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
