Installation overwrites a Grix-owned rollback guardian in ~/.grix. On a later pending upgrade it can invoke npm to reinstall this package; an invoked OpenClaw tool can download and install agent persona instructions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-18T00:54:40.143Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-18T00:56:01.271Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 4109 ms - **AI review time:** 76503 ms - **Total time:** 81128 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation overwrites a Grix-owned rollback guardian in ~/.grix. On a later pending upgrade it can invoke npm to reinstall this package; an invoked OpenClaw tool can download and install agent persona instructions. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later Grix upgrade recovery; explicit grix\_egg tool invocation - **Impact:** Unattended package-managed rollback and user-invoked remote instruction deployment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, openclaw-plugin/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T00:56:01.271Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** same-package rollback persistence and agent-persona installer - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malicious behavior, but it warrants a warning for package-owned persistence and a remote, user-invoked agent-persona installer with optional integrity verification. - **Files touched:** scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, openclaw-plugin/index.js, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh, ~/.openclaw/workspace-\/IDENTITY.md, ~/.openclaw/workspace-\/SOUL.md, ~/.openclaw/workspace-\/AGENTS.md - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs install-guardian., Install hook overwrites an executable under ~/.grix., Guardian can globally reinstall grix-connector during rollback., grix\_egg downloads an optional-hash archive and writes agent persona files. - **Evidence against:** Install hook only deploys the package’s own Grix guardian, not foreign agent configuration., OpenClaw gateway mutation is reached through an explicit local action, not postinstall. ## Public findings ### 1.
