fiftyone.geolocation@4.5.98
Perform reverse geocoding using longitude and latitude to populate postal addresses
AI Security Review
scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s default pipeline enables runtime usage sharing that transmits identifying request data and permits all evidence fields, with no disclosure found in the README. This is suspicious telemetry; the test-only eval and lack of install hooks do not indicate malicious execution.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
The application builds and processes a pipeline using the default GeoLocationPipelineBuilder options.
Impact
Request evidence may include identifying or sensitive application data; sharing is enabled unless callers opt out.
Mechanism
The builder adds ShareUsage by default. Its default filter permits all evidence, including client IP and session ID, and sends batches to devices-v4.51degrees.com.
AI rationale
The package’s default pipeline enables runtime usage sharing that transmits identifying request data and permits all evidence fields, with no disclosure found in the README. This is suspicious telemetry; the test-only eval and lack of install hooks do not indicate malicious execution.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The pipeline builder enables ShareUsage by default and adds it to the pipeline unless explicitly disabled.
- With default filter options, the usage component permits all evidence fields; it also extracts client IP and session ID.
- The component sends batched usage data to devices-v4.51degrees.com.
Evidence against
- The package has no install lifecycle scripts; its manifest scripts are for testing, linting, and type checking.
- The import entry point only exports the geolocation classes.
- The flagged eval is a compatibility check in a test file, not runtime package code.
