## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.6.4
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged source paths implement Qwen authentication and chat operations, local client synchronization, browser maintenance, and an explicitly invoked updater.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-15T17:24:30.605Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-15T17:26:35.587Z
- **Download time:** 762 ms
- **Static scan time:** 5690 ms
- **AI review time:** 118528 ms
- **Total time:** 124982 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:** No attack surface was identified in the inspected source. The flagged behaviors correspond to the package’s Qwen proxy, explicit maintenance commands, and local client synchronization.

- **Trigger:** No malicious trigger was found; the relevant operations run through normal proxy use or explicit CLI commands.

- **Impact:** No confirmed attack impact was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-15T17:26:35.587Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Inspected network calls support Qwen authentication and API requests, browser setup, and user-invoked client configuration and maintenance.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior. The flagged source paths implement Qwen authentication and chat operations, local client synchronization, browser maintenance, and an explicitly invoked updater.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json identifies the CLI entrypoints, uses prepack only to build, and exposes chat deletion as an explicit purge command., AI client configuration writes are reached through sync commands and target local configuration files, including Codex config paths., Browser cleanup removes unused Playwright browser directories; the CLI browser installer uses the Playwright CDN or mirror., The purge operation deletes chats from configured Qwen accounts through Qwen chat endpoints., Playwright login sends the supplied password to Qwen’s authentication endpoint., The updater’s shell command is built from the detected package manager and package name, and runs only through the explicit update command.

## Affected versions and remediation

- Review the evidence and your use of qwenproxy-cli@1.6.4 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.
