@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.166.0
Statusline renderer for Claude Code — a JSON5-configurable DSL with daemon-cached data sources, byte-clean palette-aware composition, and OSC8 click verbs.
AI Security Review
scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install-time hook, and its setup changes Claude Code settings only through the explicit `install` command. The network and shell capabilities inspected support statusline operation and package metadata or pricing lookups; the bidi alert corresponds to an escaped sanitization regex.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user may explicitly run `cc-candybar install`; Claude Code invokes the configured statusline during normal use.
Impact
No harmful data collection, credential transfer, or unrequested account action was identified.
Mechanism
The installer configures the statusline and queries npm; the daemon checks package releases, and pricing data is fetched from the project’s GitHub repository.
AI rationale
The package has no install-time hook, and its setup changes Claude Code settings only through the explicit `install` command. The network and shell capabilities inspected support statusline operation and package metadata or pricing lookups; the bidi alert corresponds to an escaped sanitization regex.
Evidence
Claude Code settings.json (resolved from the user's Claude configuration directory)

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 94.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest declares `prepublishOnly` build and validation work, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The CLI exposes setup as the explicit `install` subcommand; the installer queries the official npm registry while configuring the statusline.
- The daemon checks package releases at `registry.npmjs.org`; pricing data comes from the project’s GitHub repository.
- The bidi character range appears in an escaped regex that strips control characters; searches found no actual bidi controls in the bundle.
- The CLI describes its normal use as reading Claude Code hook data from stdin and outputting a formatted statusline.
Evidence against
- The package has shell execution and network capabilities, but the inspected paths serve configurable statusline data, setup, and package metadata or pricing lookups.
