@promptctl/cc-candybar@1.182.0
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 manifest has no install hook, and the CLI’s reviewed network access is tied to package metadata and pricing features. The flagged command execution and attach helpers are consistent with the package’s stated statusline and Claude Code integration purpose.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The CLI runs when invoked; package import or installation does not trigger the reviewed network operations.
Impact
No evidence in the reviewed paths shows credential theft, unrelated data exfiltration, or unauthorized account actions.
Mechanism
The reviewed network calls retrieve pricing data and npm registry metadata for package operations. The flagged command execution supports the statusline and Claude Code launch features.
AI rationale
The manifest has no install hook, and the CLI’s reviewed network access is tied to package metadata and pricing features. The flagged command execution and attach helpers are consistent with the package’s stated statusline and Claude Code integration purpose.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package entrypoints are the CLI bundle and `bin/cc-candybar`; the manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.
- The bundle dispatches named CLI commands and otherwise reads Claude Code hook data from stdin to render a statusline.
- The bundle fetches pricing data from the project’s GitHub repository and registry metadata from `registry.npmjs.org` during the corresponding CLI operations.
Evidence against
- The scanner flagged bidi controls, but a search for the reported control characters found none; the matched Unicode range appears in a sanitization regex.
- The flagged attach helpers describe launching Claude Code with a local Unix inspector socket; the reviewed excerpts did not show unrelated credential collection or outbound transmission.
- The package includes a `prepublishOnly` script, which runs build and quality checks and is not an install hook.
