@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.181.1
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 is a Claude Code statusline tool with an explicit CLI and no install-time hook. Reviewed network and process execution serves its declared functions, and the attachment launcher is invoked through an explicit feature path rather than automatically at install or import.
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
Statusline rendering runs when Claude Code invokes the configured command; install, diagnostics and attachment actions require explicit subcommands or user choices.
Impact
No automatic collection of credentials or unrelated host or project data, unsolicited account actions, or install-time changes were identified in the reviewed paths.
Mechanism
The bundle reads hook input, invokes local tools for statusline and diagnostic features, and uses the npm registry during the install command. Optional attachment code starts Claude Code under an inspector launcher.
AI rationale
The package is a Claude Code statusline tool with an explicit CLI and no install-time hook. Reviewed network and process execution serves its declared functions, and the attachment launcher is invoked through an explicit feature path rather than automatically at install or import.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 91.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest points to a statusline CLI and has no install, preinstall or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly runs maintainer checks and a build.
- The CLI dispatches named subcommands explicitly and otherwise expects hook data on stdin for statusline rendering.
- The network call to registry.npmjs.org occurs in the explicit install command, which updates the user’s statusline configuration.
- The Bun attach helper runs only as a direct command and keeps its inspector connection only when the launched process is an interactive TUI.
Evidence against
- The bundle uses subprocesses, filesystem writes and network access for statusline, install, diagnostics and optional Claude Code attachment features.
- The package ships attach preload and launcher code that can instrument a Claude Code process when the user enables that feature.
