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 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has a concrete automatic lifecycle persistence surface, so it warrants a warning. Source inspection did not establish the policy threshold for malicious installation-hook abuse.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
npm installation runs the postinstall hook.
Impact
It establishes persistent package-managed executable state, creating upgrade and execution risk if later guardian code is compromised.
Mechanism
Automatic deployment of an executable upgrade guardian.
AI rationale
The package has a concrete automatic lifecycle persistence surface, so it warrants a warning. Source inspection did not establish the policy threshold for malicious installation-hook abuse.
Evidence
package.jsonscripts/install-guardian.mjsscripts/upgrade-guardian.mjs~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.mjs~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.fallback.mjs~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 93.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The npm postinstall hook runs automatically.
- Postinstall creates a home-directory bin folder and overwrites executable guardian files.
- The installed guardian contains process-spawning and file-mutation capabilities for persistent upgrade management.
Evidence against
- The automatic write is limited to the package's own .grix directory, not a foreign agent configuration surface.
- No runtime dependency on grix-connector itself is declared.
- The inspected lifecycle code contains no network request or credential collection.
