Risk Score
6.01
Risk Level:
High
Recommendation:
🚫 BLOCK
Top Risks
- NewTab override + content_scripts on <all_urls> including all major search engines enables search hijack and page manipulation.
- Privacy policy URL returned fetch error — policy effectively unavailable; data practices unknown.
- Uninstall and install URL hijack flags present; typical monetization shell behavior.
- Suspicious external host packagestrack.com and www-bestfreemaps-com.s1search.co in JS; non-obvious third-party reach.
- innerHTML DOM-XSS sink combined with no CSP raises XSS risk on injected content.
Evidence
- newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab set to /dist/index.html; replaces every new tab with extension UI.
- content_scripts_all_urls manifest content_scripts_matches includes <all_urls> plus explicit google/bing domains — full-page read/write.
- uninstall_install_url_hijack crx Both uninstall_url_hijack and install_url_hijack flagged true; common monetization shell pattern.
- privacy_policy_fetch_error api privacy_policy_classification.fetched==false, reason fetch_error:HTTPError; policy inaccessible.
- suspicious_external_hosts crx JS contacts packagestrack.com and www-bestfreemaps-com.s1search.co; unrelated to stated PDF/tab function.
- dom_sink_no_csp crx innerHTML user-controlled sink in dist/js/826.js with csp_present==false; elevated XSS risk.
- function_constructor crx new Function() usage in dist/js/706.js; dynamic code execution vector.
- no_verified_publisher store verified_publisher==false, is_featured_by_google==false; no accountability signals.
Permissions Breakdown
- storage low Standard local data storage; low standalone risk.
- search medium Can interact with browser search; relevant for NewTab search monetization.
- host_permissions: https://*.qwerpdf.com/ low Scoped to developer's own domain only.
- content_scripts: <all_urls> high Content scripts injected on all URLs; broad read/write access to every page visited.
- content_scripts: multiple google/bing domains medium Explicit injection into major search engines suggests search result manipulation.
- chrome_url_overrides: newtab medium Replaces new-tab page; core monetization surface for NewTab extensions.
