## 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:** 0.0.257
- **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.

This is a guarded, explicit-user-command agent configuration capability. It warrants a warning under the agent integration policy, but the inspected source does not establish malware or an unconsented attack.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-28T07:16:49.916Z

- **Static scan time:** 9951 ms
- **AI review time:** 59048 ms
- **Total time:** 70008 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 CLI can add an MCP configuration to a project the user is creating after an interactive editor choice. No unconsented install-time attack was identified.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the create-app CLI and selects an MCP editor integration.

- **Impact:** The selected editor may later execute the configured MCP client; this is an explicit project-level agent capability, not confirmed malicious behavior.

- **Evidence paths:** build/index.js, build/generator-G3PPR2ZE.js, templates/app/.mcp.json.ejs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T07:17:59.924Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The generator writes an editor-specific project configuration that invokes the Wix remote MCP client through npx.

- **Rationale:** This is a guarded, explicit-user-command agent configuration capability. It warrants a warning under the agent integration policy, but the inspected source does not establish malware or an unconsented attack.

- **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://mcp.wix.com/sse

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a command-line entrypoint and has no install lifecycle hook in its metadata., The interactive creation flow asks the user to choose an MCP-enabled editor., The generator renders templates and writes them into the newly created project., The MCP template configures npx to run the Wix remote MCP client against the Wix MCP gateway.

- **Evidence against:** The editor choice is presented interactively, including a no-selection option, rather than being activated during installation., The configuration is written only as part of generating the selected project template.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.257.

- Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.257 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.
