AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The exported login path forwards the supplied password and authentication response to a fixed package backend without recipient-specific consent. This is concrete credential exfiltration and warrants blocking publication. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T08:23:28.706Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T08:23:56.780Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 161 ms - **AI review time:** 27408 ms - **Total time:** 28074 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 the supplied Instagram password and login response to the package’s default backend. This is a confirmed credential disclosure during ordinary use. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes the exported getCookie helper with Instagram credentials and the Instagram login succeeds. - **Impact:** The backend receives the user’s password and authentication response without recipient-specific consent. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T08:23:56.780Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** After posting credentials to Instagram, the handler posts the password, login request data, and login response to the fixed backend endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** Calling the exported getCookie helper initiates an Instagram login. On success, the handler sends the supplied password and Instagram response data to a fixed package backend. The source shows no recipient-specific consent gate for this transfer, so ordinary login exposes credentials to the package-selected recipient. - **Rationale:** The exported login path forwards the supplied password and authentication response to a fixed package backend without recipient-specific consent. This is concrete credential exfiltration and warrants blocking publication. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js, lib/lib/handler.js, package.json - **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 exports a cookie helper that passes the caller’s username and password to its login handler., The handler submits the password to Instagram, then sends that password and the Instagram login response to the package’s default backend., The transfer has no recipient-specific consent or opt-in guard in the helper’s call path., The login service also contacts its default backend after login and may use the response to follow accounts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.3.1. - Avoid installing ionic-insta-api-wrapper@1.3.1. 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.
