@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.180.9
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 package has a concrete runtime patch that enables a model capability whose server-side gate defaults to false. Because the patch is reached through an explicit statusline-on action rather than an install hook or automatic import, this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.
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
A user invokes the statusline-on action, which restarts Claude Code under the attach launcher; the seam is applied to TUI sessions.
Impact
Claude Code’s model can access the ProposeGoal tool, which the source says can enqueue `/goal` commands, despite the feature gate defaulting to false.
Mechanism
The launcher resolves the `propose-goal` seam, which changes the `tengu_propose_goal` gate function to return true.
AI rationale
The package has a concrete runtime patch that enables a model capability whose server-side gate defaults to false. Because the patch is reached through an explicit statusline-on action rather than an install hook or automatic import, this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The attach seams include `propose-goal`, inserting `return true;` before Claude Code’s `tengu_propose_goal` gate.
- The source says that server-side feature gate defaults to false and that the model’s goal tool depends on it.
- The `statusline on` action restarts Claude Code under the attach launcher.
- The launcher applies the seams only to TUI sessions.
Evidence against
- The package describes itself as a Claude Code statusline renderer.
- The statusline animation uses a local cc-candybar daemon socket.
