Custom status line for Claude Code: shows model, output TPS, token/cost totals, git branch, context usage and prompt-cache health, plus a pricing updater

AI Security Review

scanned 8d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Automatic npm installation replaces Claude Code command registrations in global agent settings. The postinstall caller bypasses the installer's overwrite prompts.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled.

Impact

Existing agent status-line commands can be displaced without user consent, causing Claude Code to execute the installed renderer on subsequent status updates.

Mechanism

The postinstall script passes --install --yes; the installer accepts replacement prompts and persists package commands in settings.json.

Policy narrative

During npm installation, the postinstall script launches the status-line installer with automatic confirmation enabled. The installer copies its renderer into the user's .claude directory and replaces existing status-line command registrations in global Claude Code settings. Although the renderer serves the package's advertised purpose, the lifecycle caller removes the consent barrier for modifying another agent's control surface.

AI rationale

Source proves unconsented npm lifecycle mutation of global Claude Code command settings, including replacement of existing commands. This meets the supplied blocking rule independently of credential theft or remote payload execution.
