Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## 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:** 0.0.249 - **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 package does not show concrete malware behavior, but it has a real user-invoked AI-agent extension installation surface whose remote payload is not inspectable from this snapshot. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T13:49:39.100Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T13:51:08.204Z - **Download time:** 1787 ms - **Static scan time:** 14459 ms - **AI review time:** 72856 ms - **Total time:** 89104 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:** When the user runs this app generator with dependency installation enabled, it invokes an external Wix skills installer in the new project. The downloaded skill contents are not included in this package, so their effects cannot be verified here. - **Trigger:** A user runs the create-app CLI and does not use --skip-install. - **Impact:** An external package can add AI-agent skills to the newly created project without a separate confirmation step. - **Evidence paths:** build/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T13:51:08.204Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic unpinned npx skills installation in the generated project. - **Rationale:** The package does not show concrete malware behavior, but it has a real user-invoked AI-agent extension installation surface whose remote payload is not inspectable from this snapshot. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The project-generation flow automatically runs an unpinned external skills installer with confirmation disabled., The automatic skills task runs whenever dependency installation is not skipped. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The MCP configuration flow presents an explicit IDE choice, including a No option., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, destructive action, or hidden install-time execution was confirmed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.249. - Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.249 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
