## 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:** 1.148.8
- **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 package manifest and launcher show no registry install hook, but the active runtime bundle remains unreadable as source. Because the unresolved bundle includes agent-configuration path helpers and is required for clean citation coverage, the available evidence does not support a clean or attack verdict.

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 is confirmed from the readable source. The runtime bundle contains agent-configuration path helpers, but its callers and effects could not be resolved.

- **Trigger:** The package launcher imports \`dist/index.mjs\` when invoked.

- **Impact:** Whether the bundle reads or changes agent configuration, handles credentials, or performs other risky behavior remains unresolved.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs, .lpm-inspection-M7pT4S/0-b5702ec00803.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T08:18:33.090Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The bundle is an unrecognized artifact that cannot be read as source; a required location forms paths for Claude settings and installed plugins.

- **Rationale:** The package manifest and launcher show no registry install hook, but the active runtime bundle remains unreadable as source. Because the unresolved bundle includes agent-configuration path helpers and is required for clean citation coverage, the available evidence does not support a clean or attack verdict.

- **Files touched:** package.json, bin/cc-candybar, dist/index.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **AI review observations:** package.json declares \`prepublishOnly\` for checks and a build; no registry install hook is listed., The launcher dynamically imports \`dist/index.mjs\`, making that bundle the runtime entrypoint., At the required agent-configuration location, the bundle contains helpers that form \`.claude/settings.json\` and \`.claude/plugins/installed\_plugins.json\` paths; their callers and effects remain unresolved., The trusted offline analysis identifies \`dist/index.mjs\` as an unrecognized 990,757-byte artifact and says its behavior remains unresolved.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest’s \`prepublishOnly\` command runs linting, type checks, protocol and schema checks, and a build; it is not an npm install hook.
