AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource confirms unrestricted forwarding of a service cookie during caller-invoked downloads, warranting a warning under the credential-forwarding policy. The command-output exfiltration hint is unsupported by the inspected data flow.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
A caller runs the PBF download step with OSM_AUTH set and a PBF URL outside the intended service.
Impact
Conditional exposure of a service authorization cookie to another server.
Mechanism
The host check logs a warning, then curl sends the obtained cookie to the configured URL.
AI rationale
Source confirms unrestricted forwarding of a service cookie during caller-invoked downloads, warranting a warning under the credential-forwarding policy. The command-output exfiltration hint is unsupported by the inspected data flow.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 96.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json has no automatic install lifecycle hooks.
- dist/index.cjs uses OSM_AUTH to obtain service authorization; an unrelated PBF host produces only a warning.
- Both entrypoints pass the obtained Geofabrik cookie to curl with the configured download URL.
- The PBF caller uses osm_data.source.pbf_url, whose schema accepts any string without a destination allowlist.
Evidence against
- The behavior requires a caller-invoked download and OSM_AUTH; no covert default recipient was identified.
- The child process downloads map data and pipes output to the terminal, rather than exporting command output.
