@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.180.3
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 entry point is a Claude Code statusline CLI, and the only declared lifecycle script is prepublishOnly. The reviewed network and process activity supports statusline setup, rendering, or pricing; no malicious data flow was found.
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
The CLI runs when invoked as a statusline or through an explicit subcommand such as install.
Impact
No malicious collection, credential theft, or unrelated execution was identified.
Mechanism
It reads statusline input, renders output, and provides setup and pricing features. The reviewed attach path uses a local Unix socket.
AI rationale
The entry point is a Claude Code statusline CLI, and the only declared lifecycle script is prepublishOnly. The reviewed network and process activity supports statusline setup, rendering, or pricing; no malicious data flow 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 package exposes a CLI and dist/index.mjs as its entry point; its manifest has a prepublishOnly script, not an install hook.
- The CLI is designed to read Claude Code hook data from stdin and output a formatted statusline.
- Pricing data is fetched from the package’s GitHub repository as a separate feature request.
Evidence against
- The package can run commands and use network access, but the reviewed flows fit its statusline, setup, and pricing features.
- The bundled attach code uses a local Unix inspector socket; no credential forwarding or unrelated collector was identified.
