Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as AI-agent capability risk** — Allowed by default with warning: agent-facing configuration or capability changes need review before use. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only AI-agent capability risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** AI-agent capability abuse - **Selected version:** 0.0.252 - **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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T00:24:41.767Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T00:26:01.331Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 10562 ms - **AI review time:** 68746 ms - **Total time:** 79564 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:** The user-run app generator automatically runs an external skills installer. An optional IDE choice writes an MCP configuration that later launches a remote Wix MCP client through npx. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** build/index.js, templates/app/.cursor/mcp.json.ejs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T00:26:01.331Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Noninteractive external skills installation and optional MCP launch-config generation. - **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. - **Files touched:** .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .mcp.json - **Network endpoints:** https://mcp.wix.com/sse ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.252. - Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.252 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.
