Installation persistently installs a Grix-owned upgrade guardian. Optional OpenClaw tools can alter OpenClaw agent state and install remote persona content when invoked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T03:35:44.521Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T03:37:07.931Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 6272 ms - **AI review time:** 76633 ms - **Total time:** 83410 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation persistently installs a Grix-owned upgrade guardian. Optional OpenClaw tools can alter OpenClaw agent state and install remote persona content when invoked. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later Grix/OpenClaw tool invocation - **Impact:** Can persist Grix upgrade behavior and modify configured OpenClaw agents; no confirmed malicious chain. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, openclaw-plugin/index.js, dist/assets/dsh-bridge/manifest.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T03:37:07.931Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-owned upgrade guardian and privileged OpenClaw extension workflows - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malware, but its install-time persistence and OpenClaw configuration/cron capabilities warrant warning for a security-sensitive agent integration. - **Files touched:** scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, openclaw-plugin/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall copies and chmods a guardian into ~/.grix/bin., Guardian can run global npm rollback through registry.npmjs.org., OpenClaw tool can download a supplied ZIP, write agent persona files, bind/configure agents, restart gateway, and add a 6-hour update cron. - **Evidence against:** Install hook only writes the package-owned ~/.grix guardian; it does not modify OpenClaw/Codex configuration., No credential harvesting, stealth exfiltration, or remote payload execution was confirmed in inspected install/runtime paths., The bundled DSH archive is a declared local IPC bridge with a manifest and inspectable JavaScript source. ## Public findings ### 1.
