AI Security Review
scanned 17d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe bundled download path forwards a Geofabrik authorization value to the configured PBF URL without enforcing a destination restriction. The transfer is conditional on caller configuration and invocation, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A caller sets OSM_AUTH, configures a PBF source URL, and invokes the download step.
Impact
A configured third-party recipient could receive the Geofabrik authorization value.
Mechanism
The bundle obtains a gf_download_oauth value, then supplies it as a Cookie header to curl for the configured URL. URLs outside the Geofabrik host are warned about but not rejected.
AI rationale
The bundled download path forwards a Geofabrik authorization value to the configured PBF URL without enforcing a destination restriction. The transfer is conditional on caller configuration and invocation, so this warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- When OSM_AUTH is set, the bundle logs in to OpenStreetMap with its username and password, then obtains Geofabrik download authorization.
- A PBF URL outside the Geofabrik host only causes a warning; the code continues the authorization flow without restricting the destination.
- The bundle returns a value containing gf_download_oauth and passes it as a Cookie header to curl for the configured PBF URL.
- The transfer runs when the PBF source is selected and the download step is invoked; the manifest has no install lifecycle hook.
Evidence against
- The credential flow requires OSM_AUTH, and downloading is conditional on the caller's PBF source and selected steps. The package manifest lists no preinstall, install, or postinstall script.
