Installation overwrites Grix upgrade helpers in the user's Grix-specific directory. When the OpenHuman adapter is started, it registers Grix MCP tools and skills in the OpenHuman profile. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T12:22:14.727Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T12:23:21.288Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 5860 ms - **AI review time:** 59925 ms - **Total time:** 66561 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation overwrites Grix upgrade helpers in the user's Grix-specific directory. When the OpenHuman adapter is started, it registers Grix MCP tools and skills in the OpenHuman profile. - **Trigger:** npm installation, then starting the OpenHuman adapter. - **Impact:** The package can persist executable helpers and add Grix tool capabilities to a local AI-agent profile. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-guardian.mjs, dist/adapter/openhuman/openhuman-adapter.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T12:23:21.288Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Lifecycle helper deployment and runtime MCP registration. - **Rationale:** This is a risky agent-integration package because it automatically deploys persistent helpers and its runtime modifies an AI-agent profile. The observed install-time change is limited to Grix-specific storage, so the source does not establish malicious install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.mjs, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.fallback.mjs, ~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh, ~/.openhuman/users/local/workspace/mcp\_clients/mcp\_clients.db, ~/.openhuman/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** The automatic postinstall copies executable upgrade helpers into the user's Grix home directory., Starting the OpenHuman adapter creates and updates an OpenHuman MCP-server database, registering Grix tools., The MCP registration runs a local sqlite3 command and writes connector skills into the OpenHuman profile. - **Evidence against:** The install hook writes only under the package's Grix-specific home directory and makes no network request., There is no runtime dependency on another version of grix-connector., The OpenHuman mutation is reached when the adapter starts, not during npm installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
