@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.169.2
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 manifest describes a Claude Code statusline renderer and has no install-time lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly runs publishing checks and a build. The reviewed network request is part of the explicit install command, and the default entry path renders statusline output from hook data.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The CLI renders when invoked as a statusline command; setup network access occurs under the explicit install subcommand.
Impact
No evidence in the reviewed excerpts shows automatic collection or sending of host, user, project, or credential data.
Mechanism
The default path reads hook data from stdin and formats output. The install path contacts the npm registry and updates statusline setup.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest points to a statusline renderer and CLI; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs publishing checks and a build.
- The CLI dispatches install behavior only for the explicit install subcommand; its default path reads Claude Code hook data from stdin and renders statusline output.
- The install command contacts registry.npmjs.org while installing the statusline and URL handler.
- The package bin dynamically imports the bundled ESM entry point.
Evidence against
- The bundle uses process, filesystem, child-process, and network APIs; reviewed uses fit CLI, daemon, rendering, and install features.
- The scanner flagged Unicode controls and command-output/network patterns, but the reviewed excerpts did not establish concealed or unrelated behavior.
