@osm-conflation-engine/cli@3.7.1
AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource confirms credential forwarding to an unrestricted configured download destination. The command-output exfiltration hint is unsupported, and no concrete malicious installation or covert export behavior was established.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Call the exported run function with PBF downloading enabled and OSM_AUTH set.
Impact
An operator-configured foreign destination could receive the authenticated download cookie.
Mechanism
Authentication obtains a download cookie, then curl sends it in a Cookie header to pbf_url; a foreign destination produces only a warning.
AI rationale
Source confirms credential forwarding to an unrestricted configured download destination. The command-output exfiltration hint is unsupported, and no concrete malicious installation or covert export behavior was established.

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 build and test scripts but no automatic install lifecycle hooks.
- The PBF downloader only warns about a foreign destination; OSM_AUTH enables authentication without enforcing a destination allowlist.
- OSM_AUTH supplies login credentials used to obtain an authenticated download cookie.
- The authentication helper returns the configured URL alongside the acquired cookie.
- The downloader passes that cookie to curl for the configured URL; command output goes to the terminal.
- The exported run function activates downloading, and the PBF branch supplies the caller-configured pbf_url.
Evidence against
- Authentication and map downloads align with the package's functionality; no hidden unrelated recipient or malicious intent was established.
- The flagged command downloads a PBF file rather than sending command output to a remote recipient.
