Top Risks

  • MANAGEMENT PERMISSION: extension can enumerate and disable other installed extensions (incl. security and privacy tools).
  • management permission allows full enumeration and control of all installed browser extensions.
  • Developer uses free-webmail (gmail) with no verified business identity or developer name.
  • innerHTML DOM-XSS sink in popup.js; if extension data is attacker-influenced, XSS possible.
  • Privacy policy discloses third-party sharing without specifying recipients or retention period.

Evidence

  • management_permission manifest management declared — can enumerate/disable/uninstall all extensions; justified by security-scanner category.
  • free_webmail_developer store Developer email jmrrizkallah@gmail.com; no developer name; no verified business website.
  • verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true; provides partial reputation credit but free-webmail floors reputation.
  • dom_xss_sink crx popup.js assigns contentEl.innerHTML = html; potential DOM-XSS if extension metadata is tainted.
  • privacy_third_party_sharing api Privacy policy fetched; scope_extension=true, data_collection=false, but third_party_sharing=true, retention=false.
  • install_perm_anomaly store 731 installs with high-tier permission (management); small_install_high_perm=true.
  • github_blocklist_dependency manifest Blocklist fetched from raw.githubusercontent.com/toborrm9 — repo could be hijacked if account compromised.
  • cve_findings crx No CVEs detected; no known-bad hosts; no obfuscation (score=0.0).

Permissions Breakdown

  • management high Can enumerate, enable/disable, or uninstall other extensions — core function but powerful.
  • storage low Local data persistence; no cross-site risk.
  • alarms low Scheduling periodic scans; low inherent risk.
  • notifications low Displays alerts to user; no data exfil surface.
  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/toborrm9/malicious_extension_sentry/* medium Fetches blocklist from GitHub; repo ownership ties to dev but external dependency.
  • https://chromewebstore.google.com/* low Read Chrome Web Store pages for extension metadata; matches stated function.
  • https://chrome.google.com/webstore/* low Legacy webstore URL; same rationale as above.
  • https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/* low Edge Add-ons store access for cross-store scanning; matches stated function.
