The Claude Code statusline dynamically loads package-owned query-plugin extensions and passes the configured provider token to them. Explicit installation changes Claude Code settings to invoke the package wrapper. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-17T16:26:27.396Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-17T16:29:05.140Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 367 ms - **AI review time:** 157125 ms - **Total time:** 157744 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The Claude Code statusline dynamically loads package-owned query-plugin extensions and passes the configured provider token to them. Explicit installation changes Claude Code settings to invoke the package wrapper. - **Trigger:** Claude Code runs the configured statusline, or a user runs \`npx creditgauge install\`. - **Impact:** A malicious local CreditGauge query plugin can execute in the Claude Code process and receive the configured provider credential. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.js, dist/index.js, dist/plugins/minimax/index.js, dist/plugins/deepseek/index.js, scripts/install.sh, scripts/uninstall.sh, scripts/lib/edit-settings.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T16:29:05.140Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Dynamic local query-plugin loading with provider-token delegation. - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malware, but it establishes a first-party Claude Code extension lifecycle with dynamic local code loading and credential delegation. Per policy, retain a warn verdict for this agent-extension risk rather than blocking publication. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/cli.js, dist/index.js, dist/plugins/minimax/index.js, dist/plugins/deepseek/index.js, scripts/install.sh, scripts/uninstall.sh, scripts/lib/edit-settings.mjs, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/plugins/creditgauge/query\_plugins - **Network endpoints:** https://www.minimaxi.com/v1/token\_plan/remains, https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`dist/index.js\` dynamically imports \`~/.claude/plugins/creditgauge/query\_plugins/\/index.{js,mjs}\`., The loaded plugin receives the provider authentication key in \`fetchAccountCredit(token, context)\`., \`scripts/install.sh\` explicitly rewrites Claude Code \`settings.json\` and enables its marketplace/plugin., Built-in plugins send the token only to MiniMax and DeepSeek account endpoints., \`package.json\` has no \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, or \`postinstall\` hook. - **Evidence against:** CLI actions are explicit \`npx creditgauge\` commands with interactive confirmation for install/uninstall., \`scripts/uninstall.sh\` reverts journaled settings changes and limits deletion to CreditGauge paths., Built-in network calls query stated provider usage/balance APIs; no unrelated exfiltration endpoint was found., No eval, shell-downloaded payload, stealth install-time execution, or foreign agent-surface mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
