@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.178.0
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 routed process and network behavior fits a Claude Code statusline and its setup flow. No install hook or automatic credential collection or unrelated outbound action was identified.
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
Running the CLI reads Claude Code statusline input; setup actions run when the user invokes the install command.
Impact
No malicious impact identified in the reviewed source.
Mechanism
The CLI renders local statusline data. Setup stages the runtime, updates statusline settings, and checks the package registry; pricing data is available from the project’s GitHub repository.
AI rationale
The routed process and network behavior fits a Claude Code statusline and its setup flow. No install hook or automatic credential collection or unrelated outbound action was identified.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package describes itself as a Claude Code statusline, with its main and exported entry pointing to dist/index.mjs.
- The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs maintainer checks and a build.
- The CLI dispatches named commands explicitly; without a subcommand, it reads statusline data from stdin and renders output.
- The npm registry check is part of the install command, and the other identified URL serves this package’s pricing data.
Evidence against
- The bundle uses child processes and network access, but in the reviewed paths these support Claude Code integration, setup, and pricing data.
- The routed attach helpers describe running Claude Code under Bun and attaching through a user-scoped Unix socket.
- The optional native packages identify themselves as platform-specific render-path binaries.
