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-ai

The automatic home-directory executable overwrite warrants a warning. The inspected behavior is limited to package-branded Grix helpers, so the source does not establish malicious intent or a foreign AI-agent control-surface takeover.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm postinstall

Impact

A package installation can replace persistent helper executables used by the Grix service.

Mechanism

Copies executable guardian helpers into the user-home Grix bin directory.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/install-guardian.mjs~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.mjs~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.fallback.mjs~/.grix/bin/upgrade-guardian.sh

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 84.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package runs a guardian script automatically after npm installation.
The postinstall script targets a user-home Grix bin directory.
The script overwrites executable guardian helpers outside the package directory.

Evidence against

The inspected postinstall code only copies package-bundled helpers and makes no network request.
No runtime dependency on another release of grix-connector is declared.
