## 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:** 3.5.1
- **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 uploads configuration that can include a repository URL and local file path to its own service during GitHub Actions runs. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry carrying identifying details, so it warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0%
- **Started:** 2026-11-01T10:28:32.776Z

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:** Automatic runtime telemetry sends run configuration and summary data to the package's service.

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

- **Impact:** The upload can expose identifying project details, including a repository URL and local source-data path, without an evident opt-in.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/config.schema.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T10:29:41.207Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The code obtains an OIDC token for osm-conflation-engine and PUTs a JSON object containing config, warnings, and run counts to the run\_history endpoint.

- **Rationale:** The package automatically uploads configuration that can include a repository URL and local file path to its own service during GitHub Actions runs. This is undisclosed runtime telemetry carrying identifying details, so it warrants a warning rather than a publish block.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 93.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** After a conflate run, code in GitHub Actions obtains an OIDC token for osm-conflation-engine and sends a PUT request to the package service's run\_history endpoint with JSON.stringify(e) as the body., The uploaded object includes the full config, warnings, and run counts., The config schema allows values such as a GitHub repository URL and a local source-data file path, so the upload can include identifying project details.

- **Evidence against:** The upload is limited to GitHub Actions and uses an OIDC token addressed to the package's own service., The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @osm-conflation-engine/cli@3.5.1.

- Review the evidence and your use of @osm-conflation-engine/cli@3.5.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
