## Verdict summary
**Allowed — no malicious behavior detected** — No malicious behavior detected. 19 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:** 1.185.0
- **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 inspected code matches the package’s stated Claude Code statusline and integration purpose. The scanner’s process, network, and Unicode leads resolve to expected launch, update, pricing, and sanitization behavior; no malicious data flow was found.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T11:21:54.503Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-03T11:22:34.277Z
- **Download time:** 1258 ms
- **Static scan time:** 3011 ms

- **Total time:** 39774 ms

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. The package provides a Claude Code statusline and related launcher and daemon features.

- **Trigger:** The CLI runs when a user invokes it; the attach launcher is used when the user enables that integration.

- **Impact:** Observed process and network activity supports the package’s stated features; inspected code showed no unrelated collection or account actions.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T11:22:34.277Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package renders statusline data, can launch Claude Code with the user's terminal and environment, and makes requests to npm’s registry and the project’s pricing file.

- **Rationale:** The inspected code matches the package’s stated Claude Code statusline and integration purpose. The scanner’s process, network, and Unicode leads resolve to expected launch, update, pricing, and sanitization behavior; no malicious data flow was found.

- **Files touched:** ~/.local/state/cc-extra/attach.log

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a Claude Code statusline renderer and exposes the \`dist/index.mjs\` library entry and \`bin/cc-candybar\` command., The launcher dynamically imports the package entry; its comments describe the native fast path as an optimization staged by an explicit install command., The attach launcher starts the selected Claude binary with inherited terminal I/O and supervises its signals., The registry request is used to fetch package metadata for a user-facing update check; pricing data comes from the project’s GitHub repository., The Unicode range in the bundle is matched by a sanitizer that removes those characters.

## Affected versions and remediation
