Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Running the CLI automatically attempts to export cookies from a detected browser profile. It then uses the resulting unfiltered cookie string in Instagram requests and installs executable download helpers. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T10:39:32.210Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T10:40:37.760Z - **Download time:** 261 ms - **Static scan time:** 472 ms - **AI review time:** 64815 ms - **Total time:** 65550 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:** Running the CLI automatically attempts to export cookies from a detected browser profile. It then uses the resulting unfiltered cookie string in Instagram requests and installs executable download helpers. - **Trigger:** User runs the open-omni CLI. - **Impact:** Browser session cookies may be unnecessarily exposed to the media-download workflow; remote binaries execute without integrity verification. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T10:40:37.760Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic browser-cookie extraction and runtime binary download. - **Rationale:** No install-time malicious behavior is present, but automatic browser-cookie extraction without explicit user selection is an unresolved dangerous capability. Runtime download and execution of unverified external binaries increases the risk. - **Files touched:** ~/.open-omni/bin/yt-dlp, ~/.open-omni/bin/gallery-dl, open-omni-cookies-\-\.txt - **Network endpoints:** https://www.instagram.com/, https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download, https://codeberg.org/api/v1/repos/mikf/gallery-dl/releases/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI automatically selects an installed browser and extracts its cookies when the user did not supply cookie options., Extracted cookies are written to a temporary file and read into a request header without domain filtering., The CLI downloads and makes external extraction binaries executable at runtime. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install-time lifecycle hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., The observed network and process behavior is invoked by the media-download CLI, not during installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to open-omni@1.1.0. - Review the evidence and your use of open-omni@1.1.0 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.

Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript let cookieJar; let cookieFile; let cookieHeader; const effectiveCookieOptions = runtimeConfig.cookies ?? { browser: "auto" }; try { let ytdlpPath; if (effectiveCookieOptions.browser) { ytdlpPath = await ensureYtDlp((status) => console.error(`[open-omni] ${status}`)); } cookieJar = resolveCookieJar(effectiveCookieOptions, { ytdlpPath }); if (cookieJar) { cookieFile = cookieJar.filePath; cookieHeader = parseNetscapeCookieFile(cookieJar.filePath); } ``` ### 12. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** dist/cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Extracted cookies are written to a temporary file and read into a request header without domain filtering.
