AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource establishes unrestricted forwarding of a service authentication cookie during a caller-activated download. This warrants a warning for credential exposure, while the inspected command behavior and absent install hooks do not support blocking as malware.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Call run with a PBF source and OSM_AUTH available, with downloading enabled.
Impact
An unrelated configured download server could receive the authentication cookie.
Mechanism
Authentication returns a cookie alongside the configured PBF URL; curl sends the cookie explicitly without enforcing its intended destination.
AI rationale
Source establishes unrestricted forwarding of a service authentication cookie during a caller-activated download. This warrants a warning for credential exposure, while the inspected command behavior and absent install hooks do not support blocking as malware.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The manifest has no automatic install lifecycle hooks.
- When OSM_AUTH is present, authentication obtains a Geofabrik cookie; a non-Geofabrik PBF URL only produces a warning.
- The authentication helper returns the configured URL with the obtained cookie, and curl sends that cookie as an explicit header.
- The exported run operation activates PBF downloading through the configured source; downloading is included in the default steps.
- The configuration schema accepts the PBF URL as a string without a destination allowlist.
- The ES module entrypoint contains the same cookie-forwarding download behavior.
Evidence against
- Curl output is piped to the console, not uploaded as command-output exfiltration.
- Authentication and map downloads serve the package's mapping workflow; no covert recipient or malware intent was established.
