AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected source confirms that ordinary login discloses credentials to a package-selected backend and that successful login can trigger backend-directed account actions. This is concrete credential exfiltration, so publication should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T22:56:12.198Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T22:56:56.585Z - **Download time:** 2325 ms - **Static scan time:** 165 ms - **AI review time:** 41895 ms - **Total time:** 44387 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:** A normal login sends the supplied Instagram password and login data to the package's default backend. After login, that backend can also direct the service to follow users or like posts with the authenticated account. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes the exported cookie helper or login service with Instagram credentials. - **Impact:** The backend receives the supplied password and login data, and can cause follows or likes on the user's account. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js, lib/lib/login.service.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T22:56:56.585Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The login code posts credentials and Instagram response data to reelsaver.appit-online.de, then requests backend instructions and performs listed account actions. - **Attack narrative:** When a caller logs in, the package sends the supplied password and Instagram login request and response data to its default reelsaver backend. It then fetches instructions from that backend and can follow users or like posts using the authenticated account. The source shows no recipient-specific consent gate for either behavior. - **Rationale:** Inspected source confirms that ordinary login discloses credentials to a package-selected backend and that successful login can trigger backend-directed account actions. This is concrete credential exfiltration, so publication should be blocked. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js, lib/lib/login.service.js - **Network endpoints:** https://reelsaver.appit-online.de/v2/insta/check, https://reelsaver.appit-online.de/v2/insta/verify, https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/login/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The exported cookie helper accepts a username and password and calls the login handler., The handler sends the supplied password, Instagram login request data, and response data to the fixed reelsaver backend after Instagram authentication., The login service defaults to that backend, uses direct Instagram login by default, and sends the password, request data, and response data to its check endpoint after login., After login, the service fetches backend instructions and uses the authenticated account to follow listed users or like listed posts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.2.1. - Avoid installing ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.2.1.
