@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.179.4
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 2d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe declared lifecycle script is a maintainer-only prepublish check/build chain, and the reviewed debugger attach capability is exposed through an explicit plugin action. Process execution and network references fit the CLI’s stated functionality; no malicious data flow or automatic harmful action was found.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked; attach setup is exposed through an explicit plugin command.
Impact
No unintended collection, account action, persistence, or harmful execution was identified.
Mechanism
The attach feature launches Claude Code with a local inspector socket and applies configured statusline behavior.
AI rationale
The declared lifecycle script is a maintainer-only prepublish check/build chain, and the reviewed debugger attach capability is exposed through an explicit plugin action. Process execution and network references fit the CLI’s stated functionality; no malicious data flow or automatic harmful action was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The only declared lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs maintainer checks and a build.
- The package exposes a CLI and ESM bundle; the CLI loads the bundle when invoked.
- The attach path is available through an explicit plugin statusline-on command.
- The attach implementation describes using a per-user Unix socket for its inspector.
Evidence against
- The bundle includes process execution and network code, which are capabilities worth reviewing in context.
- The debugger can evaluate code in the Claude Code session when the attach feature is enabled.
