## 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:** 0.0.247
- **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.

This is a real first-party agent-extension setup performed without a separate skills prompt, so it warrants a warning. It does not meet the threshold for malicious install-hook abuse because there is no package lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious

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:** When a user runs the project generator with installs enabled, it automatically invokes a noninteractive tool to add Wix agent skills in the new project. IDE MCP configuration is separately selected by the user.

- **Trigger:** Running the create-app flow without skipping dependency installation.

- **Impact:** New agent capabilities may be added to the generated project's AI development workflow.

- **Evidence paths:** build/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T22:48:49.379Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Noninteractive installation of Wix agent skills through npx.

- **Rationale:** This is a real first-party agent-extension setup performed without a separate skills prompt, so it warrants a warning. It does not meet the threshold for malicious install-hook abuse because there is no package lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked project generator automatically runs a noninteractive command to add Wix agent skills., That command is included whenever dependency installation is enabled, without a separate skills-consent prompt.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., MCP configuration is offered as an IDE choice and is written only for the selected IDE., No source evidence shows credential exfiltration, destructive actions, or a hidden remote payload.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.247.

- Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.247 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
