AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiInspected source confirms credential transfer to a package-default backend and automatic backend-directed Instagram account actions after login. These are concrete attack behaviors, so the package should be blocked.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Calling the exported cookie login helper, or successfully logging in through LoginService.
Impact
The backend receives Instagram login credentials and can cause account actions the user did not select.
Mechanism
The handler posts the password and login data to the backend; the login service then fetches backend instructions and executes their user and post actions with the authenticated Instagram account.
Attack narrative
Calling getCookie sends the supplied Instagram password, login request body, and login response to the fixed Reelsaver backend. Separately, a successful LoginService login automatically fetches user and post lists from that backend and follows or likes them using the authenticated account. These behaviors expose credentials and permit backend-selected account actions without a user approval check.
AI rationale
Inspected source confirms credential transfer to a package-default backend and automatic backend-directed Instagram account actions after login. These are concrete attack behaviors, so the package should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package entry point exports a cookie login helper that invokes the login handler.
- The handler submits the supplied password to Instagram, then sends that password, the login request body, and Instagram's response to the package-default backend.
- After successful login, the service automatically calls the backend verification flow using the authenticated account authorization.
- The verification flow applies backend-returned user and post lists through follow and like operations.
- Those operations issue Instagram follow and like requests with the authenticated account headers.
