Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked) - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Telemetry - **Selected version:** 0.0.281 - **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 credential-redirection and remote-execution hints were not substantiated. However, runtime telemetry is enabled by default and sends flow answers plus additional information to Wix without an apparent consent prompt, so this warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T08:13:28.121Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T08:14:58.614Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 11425 ms - **AI review time:** 78547 ms - **Total time:** 90493 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:** Default-on CLI telemetry sends flow answers and additional information to Wix. - **Trigger:** When the CLI runs and reports flow-step answers while telemetry is enabled by default. - **Impact:** User-provided flow responses and related details may be reported without an in-command consent prompt; DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 disables telemetry. - **Evidence paths:** build/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T08:14:58.614Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The flow logger submits answer, question, question key, and serialized additional information through the Wix BI logger. - **Rationale:** The credential-redirection and remote-execution hints were not substantiated. However, runtime telemetry is enabled by default and sends flow answers plus additional information to Wix without an apparent consent prompt, so this warrants a warning. - **Network endpoints:** https://frog.wix.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The user config enables telemetry by default., Setting DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1 disables telemetry., The CLI reports answers to its flow questions and serialized additional information., The default Wix BI logger endpoint is https://frog.wix.com. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts; execution begins through the CLI bin entry., The source contains no confirmed credential redirection or unrelated remote-code execution., Telemetry has an opt-out through DO\_NOT\_TRACK=1. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @wix/create-app@0.0.281. - Review the evidence and your use of @wix/create-app@0.0.281 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.
