AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source confirms that ordinary Instagram login credentials are sent to a fixed publisher-selected backend, including on the exported getCookie path. This is concrete credential disclosure and supports blocking publication. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T22:56:01.999Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T22:56:37.873Z - **Download time:** 1536 ms - **Static scan time:** 171 ms - **AI review time:** 34165 ms - **Total time:** 35874 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 login helper sends Instagram credentials to a fixed backend controlled by the package publisher. The login service also sends the password to that default backend when direct login fails. - **Trigger:** A consumer invokes getCookie, or invokes LoginService.login and its direct login attempt fails. - **Impact:** The publisher-selected recipient receives the user's Instagram password and login data without recipient-specific consent. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js, lib/lib/login.service.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T22:56:37.873Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** After authenticating to Instagram, getCookie posts the supplied password and serialized login data to reelsaver.appit-online.de. The fallback login route posts the password to the same default backend. - **Attack narrative:** When consumers use the exported login helper, it first sends credentials to Instagram and then sends the password and serialized request and response to the package's fixed reelsaver.appit-online.de endpoint. The login service has a second path that sends the password to that default backend when direct Instagram login fails. The source shows no recipient-specific consent gate for either transfer. - **Rationale:** The source confirms that ordinary Instagram login credentials are sent to a fixed publisher-selected backend, including on the exported getCookie path. This is concrete credential disclosure and supports blocking publication. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js, lib/lib/login.service.js - **Network endpoints:** https://i.instagram.com/api/v1/accounts/login/, https://reelsaver.appit-online.de/v2/insta/check, https://reelsaver.appit-online.de/v2/insta/login ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package exports getCookie through its main entrypoint., getCookie sends the supplied username and password to Instagram, then posts the password and serialized login request and response to a fixed reelsaver.appit-online.de endpoint., LoginService defaults its backend to reelsaver.appit-online.de and sends the supplied password there when its direct Instagram login attempt fails. - **Evidence against:** The initial getCookie login request and the Bloks login attempt target Instagram. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.2.2. - Avoid installing ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.2.2. 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.
