## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 22 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:** 1.174.3
- **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 exposed behavior is consistent with a Claude Code statusline and integration tool. Although the bundle includes shell and network capabilities, the reviewed source did not show an unauthorized data flow or unrelated automatic action.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T04:37:59.869Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-01T04:38:28.292Z
- **Download time:** 260 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2132 ms
- **AI review time:** 26029 ms
- **Total time:** 28423 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; observed process and network behavior appears tied to the statusline, installer, and Claude Code integration features.

- **Trigger:** CLI commands or package features that need pricing or registry data; the attach path is used when starting a Bun-compiled Claude Code session.

- **Impact:** No source evidence established unauthorized collection, credential forwarding, unrelated remote execution, or an unrequested account action.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T04:38:28.292Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package launches local tools and uses network requests for package-related data. The attach code uses a Unix-socket inspector session for Claude Code integration.

- **Rationale:** The package has no install-time hook, and its exposed behavior is consistent with a Claude Code statusline and integration tool. Although the bundle includes shell and network capabilities, the reviewed source did not show an unauthorized data flow or unrelated automatic action.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes the bundled module and the \`cc-candybar\` CLI as entry points., The only lifecycle script is \`prepublishOnly\`, which runs validation and builds; no install-time lifecycle hook is declared., The CLI wrapper dynamically imports the package entry point when the command is run.

- **Evidence against:** The bundle includes process execution and network access for package features, including fetching pricing data and npm registry information., The Bun attach code uses an inspector session to apply package seams to a Bun-compiled Claude Code process; the source describes it as an attach launcher for that specific runtime.

## Affected versions and remediation
