Top Risks

- Install and uninstall URL hijacks redirect users to ali-assist.com/tutoriais and /un — install-funnel monetization pattern.
- Content script on <all_urls> gives full page-read/write capability across every site visited.
- 12 external JS hosts including awin1.com (affiliate network) and broker-qx.pro; no CSP to constrain them.
- Multiple innerHTML DOM-XSS sinks in bundled Bootstrap (no CSP present amplifies risk per FIX B).
