## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 12 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 3.9.0
- **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.

Source inspection establishes conditional credential forwarding to an unrestricted configured download destination. This warrants a warning, while the inspected behavior does not justify a malicious publication block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-02T12:55:16.915Z

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:** Authenticated PBF downloads can expose a Geofabrik cookie to a caller-configured destination. No confirmed malicious attack was established.

- **Trigger:** Call the exported run workflow with PBF downloading enabled and OSM\_AUTH present.

- **Impact:** A destination outside the intended service could receive the download credential.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T12:56:38.566Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The domain check only records a warning; curl sends the returned authentication cookie to the configured PBF URL.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection establishes conditional credential forwarding to an unrestricted configured download destination. This warrants a warning, while the inspected behavior does not justify a malicious publication block.

- **Network endpoints:** https://osm-internal.download.geofabrik.de, https://www.openstreetmap.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json has build and test scripts but no automatic install lifecycle hooks., The downloader checks OSM\_AUTH, but an unexpected PBF domain produces only a warning., OSM\_AUTH supplies credentials for an authentication flow that returns a Geofabrik download cookie alongside the original URL., The curl download sends that cookie to the selected URL; command output goes to the terminal., The PBF URL comes from caller configuration, and the exported run workflow activates downloading.

- **Evidence against:** No hidden recipient or concrete malware intent was established., Map downloads, temporary data files, and command execution are consistent with the package functionality.
