Security audit

Reddit (read only - no auth)

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent read-only Reddit browsing helper that sends user-directed Reddit queries to Reddit and does not show posting, credential use, persistence, or local data access.

Install this only if you are comfortable with a local Node script contacting reddit.com and sending the subreddit names, post URLs/IDs, and search terms you ask it to inspect. It does not require Reddit login credentials and the reviewed artifacts do not show account-changing actions.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
80% confidence
Finding
This code sends user-provided search terms and subreddit scopes to Reddit over HTTP via public JSON endpoints. Although the file header says the script is 'read-only', it does not explicitly warn at the call sites or via user-facing output that supplied queries are transmitted to an external service.
