## 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:** 1.168.1
- **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 package's automatic behavior supports its statusline and daemon purpose, and the inspected network requests target the npm registry and the publisher's pricing file. Settings changes occur through the explicit install command; no install-time data collection, credential exfiltration, or unrelated account action was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-30T21:49:53.379Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-30T21:51:00.966Z

- **Total time:** 67587 ms

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 and local daemon.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked as a statusline command or with a selected subcommand.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection, credential transfer, or harmful default action was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T21:51:00.966Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** It reads statusline input and uses local commands and files; network access is for npm registry checks and package pricing.

- **Rationale:** The package's automatic behavior supports its statusline and daemon purpose, and the inspected network requests target the npm registry and the publisher's pricing file. Settings changes occur through the explicit install command; no install-time data collection, credential exfiltration, or unrelated account action was found.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 92.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs publisher checks and a build., The CLI is designed to read Claude Code statusline input from stdin and render formatted output., The inspected network requests target npm registry metadata and the package's own public pricing file., The daemon checks for updates in the background, while applying an update is a separate explicit action., The flagged BOM character appears as whitespace in bundled parser code; searches found no bidi control characters.

- **Evidence against:** The bundle imports child\_process and runs local commands, consistent with its statusline, diagnostics, and daemon features., The explicit install command updates Claude Code settings and contacts the npm registry., The daemon performs periodic update checks and the renderer can fetch pricing data from GitHub.

## Affected versions and remediation
