AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection confirms that the exported login helper discloses caller-supplied Instagram credentials and response data to a package-selected backend. This supports blocking for credential exfiltration despite the helper being caller-invoked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T08:23:31.810Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T08:24:08.190Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 78 ms - **AI review time:** 35794 ms - **Total time:** 36380 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 exported cookie login helper sends the caller’s Instagram password and login response data to the package’s fixed backend. This is an active credential disclosure to a package-selected recipient. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes getCookie with Instagram credentials. - **Impact:** The recipient receives the caller’s password and authentication response data. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T08:24:08.190Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The login flow posts the password, serialized login request, and serialized Instagram response to reelsaver.appit-online.de. - **Attack narrative:** Calling getCookie starts an Instagram login and then posts the supplied password and login response data to the package’s fixed backend. The source shows no recipient-specific consent gate for this transfer. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms that the exported login helper discloses caller-supplied Instagram credentials and response data to a package-selected backend. This supports blocking for credential exfiltration despite the helper being caller-invoked. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js - **Network endpoints:** https://reelsaver.appit-online.de/v2/insta/check ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The exported getCookie helper accepts the caller’s username and password and invokes the cookie login flow., The login flow sends the password and Instagram login response data to a fixed package backend without a recipient-specific consent check., The package’s prepare script runs a build command; the credential disclosure occurs when the exported helper is called. - **Evidence against:** The credential transfer is reached through an exported, caller-invoked login helper rather than an install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to insta-api-wrapper@1.1.0. - Avoid installing insta-api-wrapper@1.1.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
