Instagram Analyzer Wulongcha

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This appears to be a real Instagram analytics scraper, but its stealth automation, rate-limit workaround guidance, credential mention, and saved scraped data warrant careful review before installing.

Install only if you are comfortable running an Instagram scraping tool. Use it only for accounts or content you are authorized to analyze, avoid using multiple accounts to bypass limits, do not store valuable Instagram credentials in shared files, and run it in an isolated environment with pinned dependencies and a plan to delete generated data files.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The manifest description is broadly worded enough to trigger on generic Instagram-related requests, which can cause the skill to activate outside a narrowly intended scope. In this context, that increases the chance of unnecessary scraping or collection of social-media data when a user may have only asked for general advice or analysis, making unintended data handling more likely.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The documentation explicitly describes storing scraped profile/post data to local files and configuring Instagram credentials in .env, but it does not provide a clear warning about sensitive data handling, retention, access controls, or credential protection. Because the skill also uses browser automation, stealth mode, and potentially multiple accounts, the lack of safeguards materially raises the risk of credential leakage, unauthorized collection, or accidental exposure of scraped personal data.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
90% confidence
Finding
The script performs live network scraping of Instagram content and silently stores extracted profile/post analytics to disk, but it does not present any explicit notice or consent prompt to the user about outbound requests or local data retention. In an agent-skill context, hidden network access and undisclosed persistence are risky because users may invoke analysis assuming a local-only operation, while the tool contacts third-party services and creates lasting artifacts containing scraped data.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding
The profile-analysis path writes full analysis results and a separate file of reel URLs to local storage without an explicit warning that files will be created. In shared or automated environments, this can leave behind sensitive or unexpected artifacts, expose collected data to other local users/processes, and violate user expectations about ephemeral execution.
