🚫 BLOCK
Top Risks
- Brand impersonation: 'Google' in title by unverified gmail developer with no Google affiliation.
- Privacy policy points to Google's own policy — not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
- Content script on <all_urls> with no CSP; three innerHTML DOM-XSS sinks across content/options/popup scripts.
- Extension is 26 months stale (zombie), low installs, rating 2/5 — abandoned with unresolved risk surface.
- Install-URL hijack detected; onInstalled opens third-party URL of unknown destination.
Evidence
- brand_impersonation store brand_mention.is_impersonation=true; 'Google' in title; developer_email=gmail.com; confirmed_owner=false.
- generic_privacy_policy store Privacy URL is Google's own account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0.
- content_scripts_all_urls_no_csp manifest content_scripts_matches=[<all_urls>], csp_present=false; DOM-XSS sinks escalate to +2.0 each (FIX B).
- install_url_hijack crx install_url_hijack=true, target=null; onInstalled opens unknown third-party URL (+2.0 Webstore).
- stale_extension store months_since_update=26; 24-36mo band → Maintenance +6.0.
- free_webmail_developer store developer_email=extensionseventy@gmail.com; numbered alias + no business domain → Reputation floor.
- numbered_alias_email store Email 'extensionseventy@gmail.com' matches numbered/word-alias pattern → Webstore +3.0.
- low_rating store Rating=2.0; install_count=139; low user trust signal.
Permissions Breakdown
- activeTab low Scoped to user-invoked tab; low blast radius on its own.
- tabCapture medium Captures tab video/audio stream; core for GIF recording but powerful.
- storage low Local data persistence only.
- tabs medium Accesses tab URLs and metadata across all open tabs.
- notifications low Desktop notification display; low standalone risk.
- content_scripts:<all_urls> high Content script injected on every site; broad DOM access combined with innerHTML sinks.
