🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Uninstall and install URL hijack both redirect to gameograf.com affiliate/UTM URL — monetization shell pattern.
- Privacy policy URL returns fetch error (ConnectionError) — effectively no accessible privacy policy.
- NewTab override combined with search permission and operator cluster of 50 dev-email siblings signals traffic-monetization operation.
- No CSP present (MV3 so no v2 bonus penalty, but dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl findings elevate XSS risk).
- Developer name absent; verified publisher discount limited by monetization signals per invariant 0c.
Evidence
- install_url_hijack + uninstall_url_hijack manifest Both install and uninstall redirect to gameograf.com with UTM/affiliate params — monetization shell.
- privacy_policy_fetch_failed api privacy_policy_classification.fetched=false, reason=fetch_error:ConnectionError — policy inaccessible.
- operator_cluster_dev_email_siblings api dev_email dimension shows 50 sibling extensions under support@gameograf.com.
- newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab present; extension replaces every new tab page.
- dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl crx Two DOM-XSS sinks in popup.js and calendar.js; no CSP to mitigate.
- operator_cluster_compound_sibling api compound fingerprint sibling_count=1 (lnagjecldcpfmlcgliojbhehighibhkj) — template-stamped extension pair.
- verified_publisher_with_monetization store verified_publisher=true but install/uninstall URL hijacks present — invariant 0c caps discount at -1.0.
- developer_name_absent store developer_name is empty string — accountability gap despite verified publisher badge.
Permissions Breakdown
- search medium Allows overriding search provider — monetization vector for NewTab extensions.
- host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to dev's own API domain; limited blast radius.
- chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces new tab page — high visibility surface, common monetization shell.
