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. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T12:55:33.659Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T12:56:59.909Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 112 ms - **AI review time:** 85376 ms - **Total time:** 86250 ms 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 path can forward an authenticated service cookie to an unrestricted configured URL. This establishes conditional credential exposure, without evidence of a covert attack. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.cjs, dist/index.mjs, dist/config.schema.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T12:56:59.909Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authentication obtains a download cookie, then curl sends it in a Cookie header to pbf\_url; a foreign destination produces only a warning. - **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. - **Network endpoints:** https://osm-internal.download.geofabrik.de, https://www.openstreetmap.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @osm-conflation-engine/cli@3.7.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @osm-conflation-engine/cli@3.7.1 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
