## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 3.13.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

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.

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:** The PBF download flow can send a Geofabrik authorization value to an unrestricted configured URL. This is a conditional credential exposure risk.

- **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.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.cjs, dist/index.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T12:37:51.120Z

### AI review details

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

- **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.

- **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.

- **Network endpoints:** osm-internal.download.geofabrik.de, www.openstreetmap.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **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.
