Is Engage AI - ChatGPT for Social Media safe?

Medium risk

Engage AI sends LinkedIn cookies and profile details to Engage AI backend endpoints.

The extension reads LinkedIn cookies, stores the combined cookie string in Chrome sync storage, and sends it with email and profile fields to Engage AI servers. When generating a post, it sends the prompt text to an Azure OpenAI chat-completions endpoint using an API key embedded in the service worker.

Findings

Azure OpenAI key embedded in post-generation code

What actually happens
You did this

The extension did this

The service worker sends your prompt to Azure OpenAI with an embedded API key.

Fields built into the post-generation request
  • Azure OpenAI API key
    api-key=<redacted>

    A service credential is included so the Azure OpenAI endpoint accepts the request. The value is redacted here because it is a live key.

  • Your prompt text
    Write a LinkedIn post about our product launch (illustrative)

    The text you enter for post generation is sent to the chat-completions endpoint.

  • Token limit
    500

    The request also tells the remote service how much generated text to return.
