## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 13 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Telemetry warning (can be blocked)
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Telemetry
- **Selected version:** 3.4.4
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package automatically posts project configuration and run details to its service from GitHub Actions, with no evident disclosure or opt-out. The OSM credential and download flows appear related to retrieving OSM data, so the identified issue is warning-level telemetry rather than credential theft or malicious execution.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T10:19:44.570Z

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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry sends project configuration and run summaries to the package service.

- **Trigger:** A successful conflate run in GitHub Actions.

- **Impact:** Project metadata and configuration, which may include repository details, file paths, and data-source settings, are disclosed to the package service without an evident opt-out.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T10:20:47.944Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The package obtains a GitHub Actions OIDC token and PUTs a serialized run object, including configuration, warnings, and counts, to the run-history API.

- **Rationale:** The package automatically posts project configuration and run details to its service from GitHub Actions, with no evident disclosure or opt-out. The OSM credential and download flows appear related to retrieving OSM data, so the identified issue is warning-level telemetry rather than credential theft or malicious execution.

- **Network endpoints:** osm-conflation-engine.kyle.kiwi

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 88.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** After conflate completes, the package calls its run-history updater., In GitHub Actions, the updater obtains an OIDC token and sends a PUT request to the package service., The request serializes the run object, which contains the user configuration, warnings, and run counts., The manifest exports a library entrypoint and declares no install lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** The run-history request is limited to GitHub Actions and uses an OIDC token for the package service., The package’s OSM credential flow is used for OpenStreetMap access, and the curl process downloads the configured extract.

## Affected versions and remediation
