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:** 0.0.250 - **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 claimed credential redirection and download-execute behavior was not confirmed by source inspection. The confirmed behavior is a user-selected, first-party MCP setup plus default skills installation, which is risky enough to warn but not to block as malware. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T00:31:26.047Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T00:32:44.316Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 10780 ms - **AI review time:** 66468 ms - **Total time:** 78269 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 a user chooses MCP setup, generated project configuration causes an IDE to run a Wix remote MCP client through npx. Creating a project also adds Wix skills through npx by default. - **Trigger:** A user runs the create-app CLI, selects an IDE MCP option, or completes default dependency setup. - **Impact:** A generated project can acquire and launch Wix-controlled agent tooling; this is a meaningful agent-extension lifecycle risk, not confirmed credential theft or arbitrary payload execution by this package. - **Evidence paths:** build/index.js, templates/app/.mcp.json.ejs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T00:32:44.316Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opt-in IDE MCP configuration and unattended first-party skills installation. - **Rationale:** The scanner's claimed credential redirection and download-execute behavior was not confirmed by source inspection. The confirmed behavior is a user-selected, first-party MCP setup plus default skills installation, which is risky enough to warn but not to block as malware. - **Files touched:** generated project/.cursor/mcp.json, generated project/.vscode/mcp.json, generated project/.mcp.json - **Network endpoints:** https://mcp.wix.com/sse ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The interactive CLI offers MCP configuration for Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Code., Selected templates create IDE MCP files that run npx to obtain @wix/mcp-remote and connect to Wix's SSE endpoint., Project generation also runs an unattended npx command to add Wix skills unless installation is skipped. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The MCP configuration is selected through an interactive prompt and includes a No option., No credential harvesting, unofficial credential gateway, or hidden download-and-execute path was found in the inspected entrypoint and generator. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.250. - Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.250 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.
