DETECTED

What this means: detection isn't an instant ban — it's one input to LinkedIn's risk score. But it's a standing signal: it stacks with your behavior (volume, programmatic clicks) and device fingerprint, and this is just the AED list — one of LinkedIn's three detection systems (see how it works).

What this scan is — and isn't. It is an automated static search of the shipped package, not a full teardown: a match means the pattern is in the code, not that Social Post Mate (Commenter AI partner) misuses it, and no match doesn't prove absence (minified or runtime-built code can hide it). We haven't traced where Social Post Mate (Commenter AI partner) sends data. How we test

How LinkedIn checks for Social Post Mate (Commenter AI partner): the AED probe

That verdict isn't a guess. This is what LinkedIn's own page code does on every visit — simplified from its production bundle, which the BrowserGate investigation reverse-engineered line by line:

// LinkedIn's page bundle — simplified from BrowserGate's teardown
const hits = [];
for (const { id, file } of AED_LIST) // 4,934 ids incl. this one
try { await fetch("chrome-extension://" + id + "/" + file); hits.push(id); }
catch {} // not installed → silently swallowed
fireTrackingPayload("AedEvent", { browserExtensionIds: hits }); // → POST /li/track
// this extension is probed at:
// chrome-extension://ffebfjkgjgbpmnoogjjdgfkmiobngdnf/comment.html

How LinkedIn fingerprints your browser while you use Social Post Mate (Commenter AI partner)

Even after a cookie is copied out, LinkedIn keeps one more receipt on every request that follows — a 48-point snapshot of the exact machine making it. Faking it convincingly means reproducing that machine's quirks, not just editing a string.

Click any signal above for what it means. These are illustrative values — this demo never reads your actual device.

Your 48-point fingerprint — RSA-encrypted, attached to every API call in this session, not just login

This extension runs inside your real browser, so its requests always carry your real fingerprint — that isn't something it controls, it's simply where its code executes.
