It combines unfiltered cookie values into a request sent to Instagram. - **Trigger:** A user runs the open-omni CLI. - **Impact:** Browser session cookies from unrelated domains can be disclosed to Instagram. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T19:29:06.310Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic browser-cookie harvesting and cross-domain cookie forwarding. - **Attack narrative:** On every CLI launch, the program defaults to browser auto mode and invokes yt-dlp to export browser cookies into a temporary file. It then parses that file without supplying a target domain, so the resulting header can include every exported cookie. When processing an Instagram URL, it attaches that header to a request to Instagram. This exposes cookies belonging to unrelated sites to a third party. The program also fetches an executable downloader from a release URL and makes it executable during runtime. - **Rationale:** The automatic, unfiltered browser-cookie export followed by forwarding those values to Instagram is a concrete credential-exfiltration path. The absence of an install hook does not remove this runtime attack behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, os.tmpdir()/open-omni-cookies-\-\.txt, ~/.open-omni/bin/yt-dlp - **Network endpoints:** https://www.instagram.com/, https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The CLI silently defaults to automatic browser-cookie handling., It exports browser cookies to a temporary file, then parses the file without a domain filter., All parsed cookie values are placed in an Instagram request Cookie header., It downloads and marks an external yt-dlp binary executable at runtime. - **Evidence against:** There is no install or postinstall lifecycle hook., The behavior starts when the user runs the CLI, not when npm installs it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to open-omni@1.2.0. - Avoid installing open-omni@1.2.0. 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.
