Recommendation:
🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Uninstall URL hijack flagged: classic monetization/data-collection shell pattern.
- Install URL hijack flagged: opens 3rd-party URL on install, monetization signal.
- Search provider override routes all searches to find.greenpanthera.com.
- Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — not scoped to this extension; admits collection and 3rd-party sharing.
- Gmail developer with no business name or verified publisher status; throwaway identity signal.
Evidence
- search_provider_override manifest chrome_settings_overrides sets default search to https://find.greenpanthera.com/?q={searchTerms}&stream=GreenPanthera
- uninstall_url_hijack crx uninstall_url_hijack=true; target null but code hooks chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL.
- install_url_hijack crx install_url_hijack=true; onInstalled opens 3rd-party URL pattern detected.
- generic_privacy_policy store Privacy URL is Google account policy (479797 chars); scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
- free_webmail_developer store Developer email greenpantherasearch@gmail.com; no developer name; no verified publisher.
- stale_extension store 21 months since last update; 6-12mo band does not apply — 18-24mo band applies (+6.0 maintenance).
- tiny_install_base store Only 3 installs; no rating. Tail-attack-surface anomaly not triggered but zero trust signal.
- no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies so no +2.0 network penalty, but noted.
Permissions Breakdown
- chrome_settings_overrides.search_provider medium Overrides default search engine to find.greenpanthera.com; medium-risk per rubric v2a.
- uninstall_url_hijack high Sets uninstall URL; even with null target this is a monetization/tracking pattern.
- install_url_hijack high Opens URL on install; even with null target signals monetization shell behavior.
