## 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:** 1.185.1
- **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 package’s executable behavior and observed network endpoints fit its stated Claude Code statusline purpose. Its lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, so it does not run as an install hook.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Clean
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-03T12:05:08.389Z
- **Finished:** 2026-11-03T12:06:07.902Z
- **Download time:** 1020 ms
- **Static scan time:** 2990 ms
- **AI review time:** 55502 ms
- **Total time:** 59513 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.

- **Trigger:** Normal package import or explicit CLI use.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized data collection or harmful action was identified.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T12:06:07.902Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package renders a statusline, runs local commands for its features, and makes fixed requests for registry and project pricing data.

- **Rationale:** The package’s executable behavior and observed network endpoints fit its stated Claude Code statusline purpose. Its lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, so it does not run as an install hook.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a Claude Code statusline renderer., The only declared lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which runs release checks and a build rather than install-time code., The CLI entry point imports the package’s dist/index.mjs bundle., The installer checks the npm registry for the package’s latest version., Pricing data is fetched from the project’s own GitHub repository.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.185.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @promptctl/cc-candybar@1.185.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
