## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 20 low-signal pattern(s) reviewed.

- **Verdict:** Clean
- **Product-default install policy:** Allow
- **Firewall policy:** No policy match
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** None published
- **Selected version:** 1.183.1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The flagged process and network behavior aligns with the package’s Claude Code statusline, while setup is user-invoked and the only lifecycle script is release tooling. The reviewed code showed no credential theft, unrelated exfiltration, or concealed attack behavior.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T05:43:57.748Z

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack was identified in the reviewed package source.

- **Trigger:** Normal CLI or statusline use; setup runs only when the user invokes install.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized collection, account action, persistence, or concealed code execution was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T05:45:04.679Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The package launches local tools for its statusline features and accesses npm release metadata and its own GitHub pricing file.

- **Rationale:** The flagged process and network behavior aligns with the package’s Claude Code statusline, while setup is user-invoked and the only lifecycle script is release tooling. The reviewed code showed no credential theft, unrelated exfiltration, or concealed attack behavior.

- **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/promptctl/cc-candybar/main/pricing.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs release checks and a build., The CLI maps install setup to an explicit install subcommand., The install path checks release metadata at registry.npmjs.org., Pricing data is fetched from the package’s own GitHub repository.

- **Evidence against:** The executable imports the bundle when the CLI is run; the reviewed source shows no attack on import., The package uses child processes and network access for its Claude Code statusline and setup features; no credential or unrelated data exfiltration was identified., The attach helper communicates with the Claude Code process through its local inspector; no remote control endpoint was identified.

## Affected versions and remediation
