Top Risks

  • proxy + <all_urls>: can silently redirect all browser traffic through attacker-controlled server
  • 46 months abandoned; no security patches; three medium CVEs in bundled jquery@1.9.1
  • Privacy policy on free Google Sites host, admits data collection + third-party sharing, unscoped to extension
  • Free-webmail Gmail developer with no verified publisher status; uninstall URL hijack present
  • No CSP + jquery@1.9.1 with XSS CVEs increases DOM-sink exploitation surface

Evidence

  • proxy + broad host permissions manifest proxy permission + *://*/* + <all_urls>: full traffic interception capability on every site.
  • abandoned extension store Last updated October 2022; 46 months since update — well beyond >36mo worst-band threshold.
  • jquery@1.9.1 with 3 medium CVEs crx CVE-2015-9251, CVE-2019-11358, CVE-2020-11023 unfixed; fixed_in 3.5.0, bundled 1.9.1.
  • no CSP + vulnerable jquery crx csp_present=false with jquery@1.9.1 XSS CVEs; v2e jquery@<3.5 + no CSP combo applies (+2.0 CQ).
  • uninstall URL hijack crx uninstall_url_hijack=true; extension registers a third-party uninstall redirect.
  • privacy policy inadequate api Hosted on free Google Sites; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → D-rule +10.
  • free-webmail developer store Developer email steven.digitaldream@gmail.com; no verified publisher; reputation floor 7.5 applies.
  • low rating store Rating 1.7 — below 3.0 threshold; signals user-reported problems.

Permissions Breakdown

  • storage low Standard local data persistence; low standalone risk.
  • unlimitedStorage low Allows large local storage; minor risk alone.
  • proxy high Can redirect all browser traffic through arbitrary proxy servers; critical for VPN but high abuse potential.
  • *://*/* high Broad host access covering all URLs; paired with proxy creates full traffic interception capability.
  • <all_urls> high Redundant with *://*/* — reinforces total URL coverage. Counts once at higher value.
