Create Wix apps
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is an explicit user-invoked scaffold action, not an npm install lifecycle attack, but it automatically invokes an external agent-skills installer with prompts disabled. No confirmed credential theft or destructive behavior was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the create-app CLI without --skip-install.
Impact
The new project may receive Wix agent skills from externally resolved content without a separate prompt.
Mechanism
Unattended npx skills installation during project scaffolding.
AI rationale
This is an explicit user-invoked scaffold action, not an npm install lifecycle attack, but it automatically invokes an external agent-skills installer with prompts disabled. No confirmed credential theft or destructive behavior was found.
Evidence
build/index.js
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The scaffold workflow runs an unattended npx command to add wix/skills to the new project.
- This command runs by default with dependency installation; only --skip-install prevents it.
- The CLI can also target Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Code MCP configuration paths.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook.
- The MCP choice includes a No option and is selected interactively.
- No credential exfiltration, destructive action, or hidden payload execution was confirmed in inspected source.
