Top Risks

  • Privacy policy fetched but not scoped to this extension AND admits third-party sharing — scores as data-collection with 3rd-party sharing, no retention.
  • Extension last updated 35 months ago; near-abandoned with no active maintenance.
  • Brand impersonation signal: YouTube mentioned, developer not confirmed owner; free-webmail dev with no business name.
  • Install-URL hijack on install redirects user to chat.openai.com — onInstalled opens 3rd-party URL.
  • Content scripts run on both YouTube and ChatGPT, capturing sensitive page content with no CSP and stale codebase.

Evidence

  • install_url_hijack crx onInstalled redirects to https://chat.openai.com — 3rd-party URL hijack (+2.0 Webstore).
  • privacy_policy_scope_missing_third_party_sharing api Policy fetched; scope_extension=false, data_collection=false, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0 Privacy (v3.5 D).
  • brand_impersonation_youtube store brand_mention.is_impersonation=true, confirmed_owner=false, not verified publisher → +2.0 Reputation (v3.2).
  • maintenance_stale store 35 months since last update → +8.5 Maintenance pillar.
  • free_webmail_no_dev_name store developer_email=gmail.com, developer_name empty → +1.5 Reputation (free-webmail dev no business).
  • ai_extension_page_content manifest AI extension with content scripts on YouTube+ChatGPT processing page content (+2.5 Webstore AI signal).
  • no_csp crx content_security_policy=null on MV3; no CSP amplifies any future code-quality risk.
  • verified_publisher_featured store verified_publisher=true AND is_featured_by_google=true; discounts applied but capped by stale+free-webmail conditions.
