grix-connector@4.11.14
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 25d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has a concrete, user-impacting agent configuration capability and install-time persistence, warranting a warning. The inspected behavior does not meet the stated threshold for a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm installation triggers the guardian; starting a connector session triggers adapter setup.
Impact
A user can receive persistent helper and agent-control configuration changes without separate confirmation for each change. No confirmed data theft or destructive action was identified.
Mechanism
The postinstall script copies a guardian into the Grix home directory. Adapter code writes Codex trust settings, enables Claude workspace trust and related settings, and writes Cursor MCP configuration.
AI rationale
The package has a concrete, user-impacting agent configuration capability and install-time persistence, warranting a warning. The inspected behavior does not meet the stated threshold for a publish block.
Evidence

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package runs an automatic postinstall script.
- Postinstall creates a Grix home bin directory and stages an upgrade guardian outside the package.
- The Codex adapter writes trusted-project configuration.
- The Claude and Cursor adapters automatically enable trust or register an MCP server when the connector runs.
Evidence against
- The reviewed configuration actions are associated with the connector's local runtime and selected workspaces; no independent destructive payload was identified.
