Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package contains a runtime patch that enables Claude Code’s model-facing goal tool, which is outside the stated statusline purpose. This warrants a warning; the inspected evidence does not establish credential theft, exfiltration, or install-time abuse. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T14:43:46.576Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T14:44:55.475Z - **Download time:** 1275 ms - **Static scan time:** 2900 ms - **AI review time:** 64723 ms - **Total time:** 68899 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:** The attach seam expands Claude Code’s runtime capabilities by enabling its model-facing goal tool, an action unrelated to statusline rendering. - **Trigger:** When Claude Code runs through the package’s attached or hosted session path. - **Impact:** The model can enqueue \`/goal\` requests in the session when Claude Code would otherwise keep that tool disabled by default. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cc-extra/src/seams.js, dist/cc-extra/src/bun-attach.js, dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T14:44:55.475Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The seam intercepts the \`tengu\_propose\_goal\` feature gate and returns true, exposing the model’s \`ProposeGoal\` tool. - **Rationale:** The package contains a runtime patch that enables Claude Code’s model-facing goal tool, which is outside the stated statusline purpose. This warrants a warning; the inspected evidence does not establish credential theft, exfiltration, or install-time abuse. - **Files touched:** dist/cc-extra/src/seams.js, dist/cc-extra/src/bun-attach.js, dist/index.mjs - **Network endpoints:** unix socket \`/tmp/cc-candybar-\/socket\`, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/promptctl/cc-candybar/main/pricing.json, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The \`propose-goal\` seam matches Claude Code’s \`tengu\_propose\_goal\` gate and inserts \`return true;\`., The source says the model’s goal tool is normally excluded, and its server-side feature gate defaults to false., The bundle’s CLI dispatches user-selected subcommands; its default mode is for Claude Code’s statusline input., The attach path uses a local Unix socket to push statusline frames; no credential or command-output exfiltration was identified. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; \`prepublishOnly\` runs build checks., The package is described as a Claude Code statusline renderer, and the separate statusline-push seam serves that function., The inspected attach transport uses a local Unix socket, not an external collector. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.180.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.180.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
