Installation writes executable upgrade helpers outside node\_modules into the package-owned ~/.grix directory. The helpers can later manage this package's upgrade lifecycle. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T23:36:39.963Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T23:37:41.477Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 4873 ms - **AI review time:** 56139 ms - **Total time:** 61514 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation writes executable upgrade helpers outside node\_modules into the package-owned ~/.grix directory. The helpers can later manage this package's upgrade lifecycle. - **Trigger:** npm install executes postinstall; a later Grix upgrade starts the guardian. - **Impact:** Modifies ~/.grix/bin without a separate user command; no foreign AI-agent control-surface write or exfiltration was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, dist/assets/dsh-bridge/grix-dsh-bridge-4.3.3.tgz - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T23:37:41.477Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-owned upgrade-helper persistence and service lifecycle management - **Rationale:** No concrete credential theft, remote payload execution, destructive action, or foreign/broad AI-agent configuration mutation was found. The unconsented postinstall persistence warrants a warning under the lifecycle-risk policy, not a block. - **Files touched:** scripts/install-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.mjs, scripts/upgrade-guardian.sh, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.mjs, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.fallback.mjs, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** npm install runs a postinstall script., Postinstall creates ~/.grix/bin and overwrites guardian helpers outside the package., The installed helper supports detached upgrade activation and rollback. - **Evidence against:** The install script only copies package-bundled helpers into the package-owned .grix directory., No network request or credential collection is present in install-guardian.mjs., The bundled tgz identifies itself as a local DeepSeek Harness IPC bridge, not an opaque executable payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
