Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Cosmic Wolf Live Wallpaper Animation [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0 privacy (admitted data sharing, unscoped).
• NewTab override with 'search' permission: classic search-monetization shell; uninstall+install URL hijacks to gameograf.com UTM links.
• Stale 16 months with newtab override and generic privacy policy; verified-publisher discount capped at -1.0 per invariant 0c (months>18 threshold not met, but policy admits 3rd-party sharing triggering v3.5E).
• JS external hosts include chatgpt.com, netflix.com, instagram.com, youtube.com, reddit.com — broad reach unrelated to wallpaper function.
