## 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:** 1.178.0
- **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 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.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1

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; the package provides a Claude Code statusline and related explicit setup commands.

- **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.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T18:14:43.927Z

### AI review details

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

- **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.

- **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.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation
