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:** 0.0.258 - **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 inspected source supports a first-party agent extension setup triggered by explicit CLI use, with project-local configuration and a Wix endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was found, but automatic skills addition warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T19:00:49.283Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T19:04:27.141Z - **Download time:** 2267 ms - **Static scan time:** 10575 ms - **AI review time:** 205015 ms - **Total time:** 217858 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was identified. The explicit create-app workflow can configure a project-local MCP client and add first-party skills. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI to create a project, selects an MCP IDE, and does not skip installation. - **Impact:** This creates a guarded first-party agent-extension capability in the new project, but the inspected code does not establish credential theft, remote payload abuse, or unconsented install-time mutation. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T19:04:27.141Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The generator writes an MCP configuration that invokes npx for a Wix MCP client; the task flow also invokes npx to add Wix skills. - **Rationale:** The inspected source supports a first-party agent extension setup triggered by explicit CLI use, with project-local configuration and a Wix endpoint. No concrete malicious behavior was found, but automatic skills addition warrants a warning under the agent integration policy. - **Files touched:** templates/app/.mcp.json.ejs - **Network endpoints:** https://mcp.wix.com/sse ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package is a CLI application and has no npm install lifecycle hook in its manifest., The CLI presents an MCP IDE choice that includes a no-configuration option., After project generation, the CLI runs an unattended command to add Wix skills unless installation is skipped., An opted-in generated MCP file launches a Wix remote MCP client through npx and connects to the Wix MCP endpoint. - **Evidence against:** No credential collection, unrelated endpoint, hidden install hook, or destructive action was identified in the inspected paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.258. - Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.258 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.
