Create Wix apps
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiNo concrete credential theft, stealth persistence, destructive action, or unconsented install hook was found. The automatic noninteractive skills command remains a real but bounded agent-capability risk.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
A user runs the create-app CLI; MCP configuration additionally requires selecting an IDE.
Impact
A generated project can gain Wix skills and an IDE MCP entry that executes npx and connects to the Wix MCP service.
Mechanism
Noninteractive external skills installation and optional MCP launch-config generation.
AI rationale
No concrete credential theft, stealth persistence, destructive action, or unconsented install hook was found. The automatic noninteractive skills command remains a real but bounded agent-capability risk.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 83.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The project-generation flow automatically invokes an external npx skills command with confirmation bypassed.
- When selected in the interactive CLI, generated IDE MCP configuration launches npx for a remote Wix MCP server.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook.
- MCP configuration is presented as an interactive choice with a No option.
- The configuration targets files inside the newly created project and uses Wix-owned package and endpoint names.
