Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 4.11.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic persistent helper and global reinstall path create a meaningful lifecycle risk. The inspected code does not establish credential theft, arbitrary remote payload execution, or broad foreign agent-control mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T13:25:40.000Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T13:26:46.829Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 4091 ms - **AI review time:** 62230 ms - **Total time:** 66829 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:** Package installation writes persistent executable helpers to ~/.grix/bin. A later daemon-triggered rollback can globally install and start another release of this package. - **Trigger:** npm installation, followed by the package daemon's upgrade rollback path. - **Impact:** The package can retain executable control outside its install directory and replace its global release. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T13:26:46.829Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall persistence with daemon-driven global package rollback. - **Rationale:** The automatic persistent helper and global reinstall path create a meaningful lifecycle risk. The inspected code does not establish credential theft, arbitrary remote payload execution, or broad foreign agent-control mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.mjs, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.fallback.mjs, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Installation automatically runs a postinstall script., The postinstall script creates and overwrites executable guardian files under ~/.grix/bin., The detached guardian can globally install another grix-connector release and start it. - **Evidence against:** The written files are confined to the package's own ~/.grix directory., The global install is a rollback path for the same package name, not a declared runtime self-dependency., No arbitrary command download or secret exfiltration was confirmed in the inspected lifecycle code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to grix-connector@4.11.0. - Review the evidence and your use of grix-connector@4.11.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
