## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 14 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Manual Review
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Under Review
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 1.148.6
- **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: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The readable manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the plugin documents a user-invoked settings installer. However, the required executable entrypoint and indicated configuration location could not be inspected, so the runtime behavior cannot be resolved confidently.

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 attack was confirmed from the readable source. The package's executable entrypoint could not be inspected, so its runtime behavior remains unresolved.

- **Trigger:** Importing the package entrypoint or running the cc-candybar command.

- **Impact:** The unreadable entrypoint prevents resolving whether runtime behavior is safe.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T06:59:19.099Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The launcher dynamically imports dist/index.mjs, whose bytes were rejected by the source reader; the documented plugin setup separately invokes an explicit install command.

- **Rationale:** The readable manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook, and the plugin documents a user-invoked settings installer. However, the required executable entrypoint and indicated configuration location could not be inspected, so the runtime behavior cannot be resolved confidently.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** The package entrypoint is dist/index.mjs, but the source reader rejected that file as binary or containing NUL bytes, leaving its runtime behavior unresolved., The launcher dynamically imports the unresolved dist/index.mjs entrypoint., The plugin documents an explicit install command that writes a statusLine setting; it also describes skipping an existing customized command.

- **Evidence against:** The inspected manifest scripts show prepublishOnly for build and checks, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The plugin's settings write is described as part of an explicit install command.

## Affected versions and remediation
