## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 17 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.162.4
- **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: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The flagged process and network usage fits the package’s stated statusline, daemon, setup, and update functions. No install-time hook or automatic credential exfiltration was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-29T08:22:48.490Z

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 identified; the reviewed behavior matches a Claude Code statusline renderer and its setup and update features.

- **Trigger:** CLI import runs the statusline path; daemon checks run when the daemon starts; installation and update actions require an explicit command or action.

- **Impact:** No credential exfiltration, unrelated network contact, hidden install-time behavior, or unsolicited destructive or account action was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T08:24:04.466Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package processes hook input, runs local integrations, checks its own release metadata, and retrieves publisher-hosted pricing data.

- **Rationale:** The flagged process and network usage fits the package’s stated statusline, daemon, setup, and update functions. No install-time hook or automatic credential exfiltration was found.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json

- **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, raw.githubusercontent.com/promptctl/cc-candybar/main/pricing.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package describes itself as a Claude Code statusline renderer; its main and export point to dist/index.mjs., The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs release checks and a build; there is no install hook., The CLI’s default path reads Claude Code hook data from stdin and renders statusline output., The daemon checks the package’s release metadata at registry.npmjs.org; applying an update is a separate action that runs pnpm dlx for this package’s install command., Pricing data is fetched from the publisher’s GitHub repository at raw.githubusercontent.com/promptctl/cc-candybar/main/pricing.json.

- **Evidence against:** The bundle uses child\_process and network APIs, but the reviewed matches support local integrations and package-related release and pricing checks., The explicit install command updates Claude Code’s settings file and queries the npm registry; these actions are tied to the user-invoked install command.

## Affected versions and remediation
