@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.174.6
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 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s entry point and runtime behavior are consistent with its statusline and daemon features. The scanner leads, including child-process use and bidi-related Unicode, did not establish malicious behavior.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked by the user or configured as a Claude Code statusline command; the extra attach behavior is described as an explicit setup feature.
Impact
No unauthorized data collection, account action, persistence, or concealed code execution was established.
Mechanism
The package processes statusline input, runs relevant local commands, and can subscribe to its own daemon over a local Unix socket. Observed external requests target package-related services.
AI rationale
The package’s entry point and runtime behavior are consistent with its statusline and daemon features. The scanner leads, including child-process use and bidi-related Unicode, did not establish malicious behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 92.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exposes a statusline CLI and has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its prepublishOnly script is a publish-time check/build command.
- The CLI imports the bundled entry point, whose default path reads Claude Code statusline input and renders output.
- The statusline push feature connects to cc-candybar’s local daemon socket to subscribe to rendered frames; observed external endpoints serve npm registry metadata and the project’s pricing file.
