Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Hulk The Next Chapter Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• NewTab override with search permission = classic search-monetization shell on every new tab.
• Uninstall and install URL hijack to gameograf.com tracking URLs — aggressive traffic capture.
• Privacy policy URL returns fetch error (ConnectionError) — effectively no accessible policy.
• No developer name listed; manifest uses message keys hiding true identity.

Evidence

• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab set to newtab.html; combined with 'search' permission forms monetization pattern.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL → https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=extension&utm_medium=install (3rd-party traffic capture).
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=extension&utm_medium=install.
• privacy_policy_fetch_error api Privacy policy URL https://api.gameograf.com/gameograf-privacy-policy.html returned ConnectionError; unfetchable.
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty; manifest name/desc use __MSG__ keys obscuring identity.
• dom_xss_sink crx innerHTML assigned from variable in popup.js and calendar.js with csp_present==false.
• verified_publisher store Verified publisher badge present for gameograf.com; domain resolves, age ~5.6 years, 265 certs.
• no_csp_mv3 manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 strict default applies but no explicit CSP declared.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Hulk The Next Chapter Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.22 -> 7.72 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows read/redirect of search queries; combined with newtab override raises search-monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces new-tab page; core mechanism for search-redirect monetization in wallpaper shells.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain; limited blast radius.
