Specific behaviors in the shipped code: - getCookie()/getCookies posts the caller-supplied Instagram username and password together with the full Instagram login response (session cookies, user id) to https://reelsaver.appit-online.de/v2/insta/check in addition to Instagram itself, moving the credentials and session outside Instagram's trust boundary without disclosure. - LoginService.loginViaBackend sends the Instagram username, password, and 2FA code to…

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-65qr-q8w8-4q7r

Advisory: Malicious code in ionic-insta-api-wrapper (npm)
IDs: GHSA-65qr-q8w8-4q7r
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/mal-2026-4588 (revision 3, source checked 30 Oct 2026, 06:05 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm ionic-insta-api-wrapper: affected every version

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls ionic-insta-api-wrapper --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on ionic-insta-api-wrapper.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
