@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.177.1
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 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged process execution and debugger behavior belong to an optional Claude Code integration, and the source describes a per-user Unix socket and statusline-focused seams. The install lifecycle finding is not an install hook, and the reviewed network requests are for registry and package pricing data; no malicious data flow was identified.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
CLI invocation; the attach behavior is used when the user opts into the attached statusline flow.
Impact
Expected statusline and session integration; no evidence of credential theft, unrelated data collection, or unsolicited account actions.
Mechanism
The CLI updates statusline settings, while the attach launcher uses a per-user Unix inspector socket to integrate with Claude Code. The bundle also requests package and pricing metadata.

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 describes a Claude Code statusline renderer and points to a CLI and ESM entrypoint.
- The package’s `prepublishOnly` script runs validation and a build; no install lifecycle hook is declared.
- The attach launcher uses a per-user Unix inspector socket and log directory.
- The goal seam exposes Claude Code’s already-shipped propose-goal tool within the session.
- The explicit install flow updates Claude Code’s statusline settings; the bundle also contacts the npm registry and GitHub for package/pricing data.
