## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 16 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:** 1.166.0
- **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 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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%

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 identified; the inspected behavior matches a Claude Code statusline renderer and installer.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T14:45:01.599Z

### AI review details

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

- **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.

- **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.

- **Files touched:** Claude Code settings.json (resolved from the user's Claude configuration directory)

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **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.
