🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — not scoped to this extension; admits data collection & 3rd-party sharing.
- Brand impersonation flag: extension uses 'Spotify' brand name without confirmed ownership.
- No CSP + innerHTML sink creates DOM-XSS exposure on every Spotify page load.
- Dynamic script injection (script_src_dynamic) from extension package bypasses content review.
- 15-month stale update with featured badge; v3.5 invariant 0c caps verified/featured discount.
Evidence
- privacy_policy_generic_google store PP URL is myaccount.google.com — Google's own policy, not scoped to this extension. scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0 privacy.
- brand_impersonation store brand_mention.is_impersonation=true for 'spotify'; confirmed_owner=false; not verified publisher → +2.0 reputation.
- no_csp_mv3 manifest content_security_policy is null; no CSP present. Amplifies DOM-XSS risk from innerHTML sink.
- code_script_src_dynamic crx content-script.js dynamically creates <script src=chrome.runtime.getURL('script.js')> — self-hosted but flagged pattern.
- code_dom_sink_innerhtml crx script.js assigns user-controlled variable to innerHTML with no CSP and no CVEs; triggers +2.0 FIX B.
- maintenance_stale store Last updated March 2025; 15 months since update → +6.0 maintenance pillar.
- featured_badge store is_featured_by_google=true; provides -2.0 reputation discount, but invariant 0c applies (stale >18mo cap: 15mo — below 18 threshold, full discount applies).
- installs_60k store 60,000 installs; >10,000 threshold adds +1.0 webstore blast radius.
Permissions Breakdown
- content_scripts: https://open.spotify.com/* medium Injects JS into Spotify web player only; narrowly scoped but still grants DOM access.
