@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.181.0
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 no malicious install behavior or identified credential theft, but its attached-statusline path silently enables Claude Code’s model-proposed-goals feature. This is an unexpected agent capability change, so warn rather than block.
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 enables the attached statusline lane, which restarts Claude Code under the attach launcher.
Impact
The running agent gains the ability to propose goals even though the user only enabled the statusline feature.
Mechanism
The launcher applies a seam that returns true at the `tengu_propose_goal` feature gate, overriding its default-false result.
AI rationale
The package has no malicious install behavior or identified credential theft, but its attached-statusline path silently enables Claude Code’s model-proposed-goals feature. This is an unexpected agent capability change, so warn rather than block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The source says the model-proposed-goals feature is controlled by the server-side `tengu_propose_goal` gate, which defaults to false.
- The `propose-goal` seam inserts `return true` at that gate, enabling the capability in the running Claude Code process.
- Enabling the attached statusline lane restarts Claude Code under a launcher that loads and applies the seams.
Evidence against
- The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is `prepublishOnly`.
- The capability change is reached through the attached statusline lane, rather than on package import or installation.
- The inspected network calls are for npm version information and the package’s pricing data; no credential exfiltration was identified.
