## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 18 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:** 1.165.0
- **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, network, and filesystem behavior supports the package’s documented Claude Code statusline and installer functions. The release check retrieves package metadata, while an upgrade is offered as a user-triggered action; no malicious data flow or hidden automatic action was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-30T13:30:11.251Z

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 package’s file, process, and network activity matches its statusline, daemon, and installation functions.

- **Trigger:** CLI or daemon startup; user-invoked install; a user clicking the release upgrade notice.

- **Impact:** No credential or project-data exfiltration, unauthorized account action, or concealed execution was identified. Installation makes the documented statusline configuration and runtime files.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T13:31:30.651Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Reads Claude Code session and project context, runs local helper commands, checks release metadata, and can fetch model pricing. Upgrade execution requires the user to select the notice action.

- **Rationale:** The flagged process, network, and filesystem behavior supports the package’s documented Claude Code statusline and installer functions. The release check retrieves package metadata, while an upgrade is offered as a user-triggered action; no malicious data flow or hidden automatic action was found.

- **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, $XDG\_STATE\_HOME/cc-candybar, $XDG\_CACHE\_HOME/cc-candybar

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 97.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a Claude Code statusline tool; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly, which runs build checks., The executable shim imports the bundled CLI. Its install command stages the runtime, updates statusline settings, and checks the npm registry for the package version., Pricing data is fetched from the project’s GitHub repository and cached locally; the request does not include session or machine data., Release upgrades are presented as a clickable action; applying one runs pnpm dlx for the selected package version.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI reads session and project data and runs local commands such as git, which are expected for a statusline renderer., Explicit installation writes the statusline command to Claude Code settings and stages files in user data directories., The daemon periodically checks npm for release metadata and may fetch pricing data from GitHub, but no user data is sent in those requests.
