Top Risks

• NewTab override with search permission — classic monetization shell replacing default new-tab page.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic policy (scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true) — admits data sharing without scoping to this extension.
• Uninstall and install URL hijacks to gameograf.com tracking URLs — aggressive traffic monetization pattern.
• No CSP declared (MV3) with innerHTML DOM-XSS sinks in popup.js and calendar.js — elevated XSS risk.
• No developer name listed; verified publisher status doesn't offset opaque NewTab monetization structure.

Evidence

• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab set to newtab.html — replaces every new tab with extension content.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL to https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=gameograf&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=bg&utm_content=uninstall
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=install&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=bg&utm_content=install
• generic_privacy_policy api Privacy URL is Google's own privacy policy — scope_extension=false, admits data_collection and third_party_sharing.
• dom_xss_sinks crx innerHTML assigned from variable in popup.js and calendar.js; no CSP to mitigate DOM-XSS.
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; identity accountability reduced despite verified_publisher=true.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 provides defaults but no explicit CSP hardening declared.
• verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true with resolving domain gameograf.com; mitigates some reputation risk.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows modifying browser search behavior; relevant risk for a NewTab override extension.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain; narrow host access.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces new tab page — core monetization vector for wallpaper/NewTab shells.
