## 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:** 1.165.1
- **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 manifest has no install-time hook, and the inspected CLI paths use local project data for statusline features and package-owned endpoints for registry and pricing information. I found no credential exfiltration, unrelated collector, or concealed automatic behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%

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 identified; the package implements a Claude Code statusline CLI and local daemon.

- **Trigger:** Statusline invocation by Claude Code starts rendering; setup and other operations require an explicit CLI subcommand.

- **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports the package's statusline, setup, and pricing features; no automatic credential or project-data exfiltration was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T13:49:57.323Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Processes hook input, reads local project state, and runs related local tools. Setup writes the statusline setting; observed network requests are for npm registry information and the package's pricing data.

- **Rationale:** The manifest has no install-time hook, and the inspected CLI paths use local project data for statusline features and package-owned endpoints for registry and pricing information. I found no credential exfiltration, unrelated collector, or concealed automatic behavior.

- **Files touched:** Claude Code settings.json (path resolved from the user's configuration), cc-candybar state and cache under XDG or home-directory paths

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its prepublishOnly script is for checks and building., The bin entry imports the package bundle as its CLI entry point., The install subcommand checks the npm registry after setup; the bundle also updates the Claude Code statusline setting, skipping a customized setting unless forced., The CLI dispatches explicit subcommands or processes statusline input from stdin.

- **Evidence against:** The bundle uses filesystem, environment, and child-process APIs, but the inspected code ties them to configuration, local daemon state, and project-status features., Network references found point to registry.npmjs.org and the package's GitHub pricing file; no credential transfer to an unrelated host was identified.
