## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 21 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:** 1.174.6
- **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 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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T06:15:05.655Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-01T06:15:55.571Z
- **Download time:** 260 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2204 ms
- **AI review time:** 47451 ms
- **Total time:** 49916 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 identified; observed process and network activity serves statusline rendering and package features.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T06:15:55.571Z

### AI review details

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

- **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.

- **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.

- **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:** Low

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation
