Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — TOP ВПН-Крепкое соединение [browser-hijack] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• proxy permission allows complete rerouting of all browser traffic through unverified VPN infrastructure including silashield.space (RU-hosted).
• Privacy policy points to Google's own policy — not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and third-party sharing.
• Developer uses free Gmail address with no name, no verified publisher status, and no business domain.
• install_url_hijack=true: extension opens external URL on install — likely to app.myxavpn.pro or silashield.space.

Evidence

• proxy_permission manifest proxy declared — full traffic interception capability; no verified publisher to establish trust.
• install_url_hijack crx install_url_hijack=true; extension opens 3rd-party URL on install (target not captured but external hosts include silashield.space, t.me).
• external_hosts crx JS contacts: app.myxavpn.pro, silashield.space, t.me, cloudflare-dns.com, dns.google — 4 countries CA/NL/RU/US.
• privacy_policy_google_generic store Policy URL is Google's own account policy (479 KB), not extension-scoped; data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• developer_identity store No developer name, free Gmail (aslikap21@gmail.com), no verified publisher, no business domain.
• geo_diversity api JS hosts span 4 countries (CA, NL, RU, US); RU-hosted endpoint silashield.space is notable for a VPN product.
• no_csp manifest csp_present=false on MV3; no content_security_policy declared, reducing script injection defenses.
• install_count_missing store Install count not available; rating=0 — very new or unlisted extension with no community validation.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — TOP ВПН-Крепкое соединение [browser-hijack] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.55 -> 8.05 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• proxy high Can reroute all browser traffic through attacker-controlled servers; maximum network interception risk.
• https://cloudflare-dns.com/* medium DNS-over-HTTPS host access; needed for VPN DNS resolution but broadens network reach.
• https://dns.google/* medium DNS-over-HTTPS host access; same rationale as cloudflare-dns.
