Important Security Considerations

Credential Storage

This project stores credentials in plain text files:

  • .env - Instagram and WhatsApp credentials
  • ig_session.json - Instagram session tokens
  • wa_profile/ - WhatsApp Web session data

Recommendations:

  • Never commit these files to version control
  • Use throwaway/test accounts only
  • Restrict file permissions: chmod 600 .env ig_session.json
  • Do not share these files publicly

Platform Risk

This tool uses unofficial APIs that may:

  • Trigger account restrictions
  • Expose your credentials to third-party libraries
  • Change without notice, breaking functionality

Use at your own risk with test accounts only.

Reporting Vulnerabilities

If you discover a security vulnerability:

  1. Do NOT open a public issue
  2. Email the maintainers privately
  3. Provide detailed information about the vulnerability
  4. Allow time for a fix before public disclosure

We will acknowledge your report within 48 hours.
