AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package is not concretely malicious under the install-control policy, but its persistent guardian and runtime agent provisioning/configuration features warrant a warning.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm install; later Grix/OpenClaw runtime feature invocation

Impact

Can retain a Grix helper and perform privileged plugin-driven agent configuration/content installation.

Mechanism

Grix guardian persistence, package rollback, and OpenClaw extension provisioning

AI rationale

The package is not concretely malicious under the install-control policy, but its persistent guardian and runtime agent provisioning/configuration features warrant a warning.

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/install-guardian.mjsscripts/upgrade-guardian.shopenclaw-plugin/index.jsdist/core/provider-quota/kiro.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

package.json runs postinstall
scripts/install-guardian.mjs overwrites ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh
guardian later runs global npm rollback
openclaw-plugin/index.js downloads ZIPs from supplied URLs
plugin patches OpenClaw provider/default model config

Evidence against

Postinstall writes only the package-owned ~/.grix area
No foreign AI-agent config is changed during npm install
Guardian health checks localhost before rollback
OpenClaw mutations are plugin runtime functions, not lifecycle hooks
Kiro token access is used for AWS quota requests
