## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.0.236
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The scanner's command-output/loopback claims resolve to bundled dependencies and opt-out telemetry, not a malicious chain. The automatic first-party skills installation is a real but bounded agent-extension lifecycle risk requiring a warning rather than a block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-28T08:58:01.613Z

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** An explicitly invoked project generator automatically launches an external skills installer in the newly created project. This is a first-party agent-extension setup path, not install-time mutation.

- **Trigger:** User runs the @wix/create-app CLI and does not select --skip-install.

- **Impact:** May add Wix skills to the generated project's agent/tooling surface; remote package contents are outside this static package inspection.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/index.cjs, build/index.js, build/generator-CWHZ3FKG.js, build/chunk-6P5R3I5H.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T08:58:52.602Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Executes npx to add wix/skills after generating a project.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's command-output/loopback claims resolve to bundled dependencies and opt-out telemetry, not a malicious chain. The automatic first-party skills installation is a real but bounded agent-extension lifecycle risk requiring a warning rather than a block.

- **Files touched:** bin/index.cjs, build/index.js, build/generator-CWHZ3FKG.js, templates/app

- **Network endpoints:** https://panorama.wixapps.net/api/v1/log, https://22f50012d85a41e78a75ae13d92bd04f@o37417.ingest.sentry.io/4505232975593472

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** build/index.js:67769 runs \`npx --yes skills add wix/skills -y\` during project creation., The skills command runs automatically unless \`--skip-install\` is supplied., \`WIX\_CLI\_NPX\_PATH\` can replace the executable used for that external command.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., bin/index.cjs only runs after the user invokes the create-app CLI., MCP configuration is offered interactively and can be declined., Telemetry posts to Wix Panorama only when user telemetry is enabled., Loopback strings are bundled OpenTelemetry/Node library defaults, not a package fingerprint post.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.236.

- Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.236 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
