Please avoid sharing any exploit details publicly until the issue has been reviewed and addressed.

Scope

Reel Scroller is a Firefox extension that:

  • runs only on Instagram pages
  • auto-scrolls Reels when the current video ends
  • skips visibly sponsored Reels
  • stores only a local on/off preference in Firefox extension storage

The extension does not collect user data according to the repository documentation.

Security Principles

Reel Scroller follows these principles:

  • minimal data storage
  • least-privilege permissions where practical
  • no remote code execution
  • no collection of personal data
  • no transmission of browsing data to external servers

What to Report

Please report issues such as:

  • unauthorized data access
  • permission abuse
  • unexpected network requests
  • code execution vulnerabilities
  • cross-site impact outside Instagram
  • persistence or storage issues
  • problems that could expose local extension data

Out of Scope

The following are generally not considered security vulnerabilities:

  • feature requests
  • cosmetic bugs
  • Instagram layout changes that break ad detection or scrolling
  • normal autoplay behavior differences between browsers
  • issues caused by third-party changes on Instagram
