grix-connector@3.28.0

Connect local AI coding agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi, OpenHuman, Reasonix) to the Grix scheduling platform. Also serves as an OpenClaw plugin for Grix channel transport.

AI Security Review

scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source establishes persistence and guarded extension setup, which warrants warning. The npm lifecycle hook only writes the package-owned Grix guardian, so the evidence does not meet the block threshold.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm postinstall; subsequent OpenClaw grix_egg tool invocation

Impact

Can alter Grix and OpenClaw runtime state; no confirmed unconsented foreign control-surface mutation or exfiltration.

Mechanism

same-vendor guardian persistence and user-invoked OpenClaw extension provisioning

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/install-guardian.mjsscripts/upgrade-guardian.shopenclaw-plugin/index.js~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh~/.grix/data/upgrade-pending.json~/.openclaw/workspace-<agentName>~/.openclaw/agents/<agentName>/agent

Network endpoints2

127.0.0.1registry.npmjs.org

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 86.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

npm postinstall executes a package script.
Postinstall force-copies an executable guardian into ~/.grix.
OpenClaw egg tool fetches a caller-supplied package URL.
Egg binding writes OpenClaw account and agent configuration.
Successful egg setup creates or updates a six-hour OpenClaw auto-update cron.

Evidence against

The postinstall target is the package-owned ~/.grix area, not a foreign agent configuration.
Guardian networking is loopback health checking and named-package rollback.
OpenClaw changes occur only through registered plugin tools, not during npm installation.
No source evidence of credential harvesting or unrelated external exfiltration was found.
