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. Source confirms that proxy startup automatically deletes old chats from configured Qwen accounts unless the user disables the feature. This unrequested destructive account action supports blocking the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T15:36:58.321Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T15:39:46.852Z - **Download time:** 779 ms - **Static scan time:** 5704 ms - **AI review time:** 162047 ms - **Total time:** 168531 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:** By default, proxy startup schedules deletion of old chats from configured Qwen accounts. This is an automatic remote account change. - **Trigger:** Starting the proxy with configured active accounts; cleanup runs in the background after startup. - **Impact:** Remote chat history older than the default seven-day threshold can be permanently deleted without a separate confirmation for that cleanup. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/qwenproxy.js, src/api/server.ts, src/core/config.ts, src/services/chat-cleanup.ts, src/services/qwen.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T15:39:46.852Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The cleanup routine selects chats older than the configured age and sends authenticated DELETE requests to the Qwen chat API. - **Attack narrative:** Starting the proxy activates startup cleanup by default. After a delay, it checks configured active accounts, selects chats older than the default 168-hour threshold, and sends DELETE requests to the Qwen chat API. The cleanup can be disabled through configuration and skips active chats and busy accounts, but it can still delete remote chat history without a separate confirmation. - **Rationale:** Source confirms that proxy startup automatically deletes old chats from configured Qwen accounts unless the user disables the feature. This unrequested destructive account action supports blocking the package. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/qwenproxy.js, src/api/server.ts, src/core/config.ts, src/services/chat-cleanup.ts, src/services/qwen.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://chat.qwen.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package start command launches the proxy server, and the CLI maps its start option to that entrypoint., Startup cleanup is enabled unless explicitly disabled, and the default cleanup age is 168 hours., The server schedules cleanup during startup; the cleanup routine checks active accounts and deletes chats older than the configured age., The deletion request targets the chat API at the configured Qwen base URL, which defaults to chat.qwen.ai. - **Evidence against:** Cleanup is limited to old chats and skips chats active in a session or accounts serving requests; the startup behavior can be disabled through configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to qwenproxy-cli@1.6.8. - Avoid installing qwenproxy-cli@1.6.8. 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.
