AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source confirms that an exported login helper sends the user's password and login response to a package-selected backend in addition to Instagram. This is concrete credential disclosure, so publication should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T08:54:03.854Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T08:54:49.248Z - **Download time:** 771 ms - **Static scan time:** 167 ms - **AI review time:** 44455 ms - **Total time:** 45394 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

This is an active credential disclosure to a package-selected recipient. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes the exported getCookie helper with Instagram credentials. - **Impact:** The backend receives the user's password and authentication response, exposing account credentials beyond the intended Instagram login service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T08:54:49.248Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** After attempting Instagram login, the handler posts the username, password, login request, and response to the fixed backend endpoint without a consent gate. - **Attack narrative:** Calling the exported getCookie helper passes the supplied credentials into the handler. After the Instagram login request, the handler sends the username, password, serialized request, and login response to a fixed backend endpoint. The transfer occurs before the optional login-data return branch and is not gated by consent. - **Rationale:** The source confirms that an exported login helper sends the user's password and login response to a package-selected backend in addition to Instagram. This is concrete credential disclosure, so publication should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js - **Network endpoints:** https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/login/, 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 package entry point exports a login helper that forwards the supplied username and password to its cookie handler., The handler uses the supplied password for Instagram login, then sends the username, password, serialized login request, and login response to a fixed backend host., That backend send happens before the optional login-data return branch, so the flag does not gate the transfer. - **Evidence against:** The handler also sends the credentials to Instagram as part of the expected login flow. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.3.4. - Avoid installing ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.3.4. 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.
