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. Inspected source establishes explicit-command agent setup and default external skills installation, supporting a behavior-specific warning. Project-local scope, interactive MCP selection, and the absence of npm installation hooks do not support a malware block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T08:09:21.288Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T08:11:52.205Z - **Download time:** 1540 ms - **Static scan time:** 9885 ms - **AI review time:** 139491 ms - **Total time:** 150917 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 explicit project-creation command installs Wix agent skills through an external installer with prompts disabled and optionally creates MCP configuration. These capabilities warrant a warning under the agent integration policy; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Running project creation without skipping dependency installation activates skills setup; choosing an IDE activates MCP configuration generation. - **Impact:** Agent instructions and MCP capabilities can be introduced into the generated project. IDE consent permits later client retrieval when the MCP server starts, but no persistent automatic update preference was identified. - **Evidence paths:** build/index.js, build/generator-EQDRKT2I.js, templates/app/.cursor/mcp.json.ejs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T08:11:52.205Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI runs an external skills installer in the project directory and renders IDE-specific configuration that launches an unpinned Wix MCP client through npx. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes explicit-command agent setup and default external skills installation, supporting a behavior-specific warning. Project-local scope, interactive MCP selection, and the absence of npm installation hooks do not support a malware block. - **Files touched:** .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .mcp.json - **Network endpoints:** https://mcp.wix.com/sse ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Project creation runs npx skills add wix/skills with confirmation prompts disabled in the generated project directory., The skills installation task runs unless dependency installation is skipped; skipping defaults to false., Interactive IDE selection enables project-local MCP configuration for Cursor, VS Code, or Claude Code., The template generator honors conditional skips and writes the selected configuration; the Cursor template runs @wix/mcp-remote against https://mcp.wix.com/sse., package.json contains no npm installation lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency. - **Evidence against:** The agent setup occurs through an explicit project-creation command, rather than an npm installation hook., MCP selection is interactive, configuration paths are project-local, and the gateway belongs to Wix., No concrete credential theft, destructive action, or covert persistence was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.259. - Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.259 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.
