## 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:** 0.0.240
- **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/network combination is not proof of malicious exfiltration: the inspected endpoint is telemetry and no lifecycle hook exists. The unconditional noninteractive Wix-skills installation during a user-invoked scaffold remains a package-owned agent-extension risk.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-08-06T20:00:01.603Z
- **Finished:** 2026-08-06T20:01:04.558Z
- **Download time:** 778 ms
- **Static scan time:** 10944 ms
- **AI review time:** 51232 ms
- **Total time:** 62955 ms

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:** The invoked project generator noninteractively installs Wix skills via npx. Optional MCP configuration is user-selected and confined to the newly generated project.

- **Trigger:** User runs the create-app CLI and does not pass --skip-install; MCP files require an IDE selection.

- **Impact:** A user-invoked scaffold can add Wix agent capabilities to its generated project; no unconsented install-time compromise is confirmed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/index.cjs, build/index.js, build/generator-R6MCAQJ7.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T20:01:04.558Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Project-scoped Wix skills installation and optional MCP configuration.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's command/network combination is not proof of malicious exfiltration: the inspected endpoint is telemetry and no lifecycle hook exists. The unconditional noninteractive Wix-skills installation during a user-invoked scaffold remains a package-owned agent-extension risk.

- **Files touched:** bin/index.cjs, build/index.js, build/generator-R6MCAQJ7.js, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .mcp.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://panorama.wixapps.net/api/v1/log

### 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:67874 runs \`npx --yes skills add wix/skills\` after project creation., build/index.js:67393 asks the user before selecting Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Code MCP configuration., build/index.js:67465 targets generated-project MCP config paths., build/index.js:56586 posts CLI telemetry to panorama.wixapps.net.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., bin/index.cjs only runs when the user invokes the CLI., MCP setup has an explicit No option and is limited to the new project., No source evidence of credential harvesting, destructive actions, or hidden foreign-agent config writes.

## Affected versions and remediation
