🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Privacy policy fetched but has no extension scope, admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing — scores maximum privacy risk.
- jQuery 1.9.1 bundled with 3 moderate CVEs (XSS); version is far below fixed_in 3.5.0 and no CSP is present.
- No Content Security Policy (MV3, so no v2 penalty, but amplifies CVE/DOM risk).
- 12 external JS hosts referenced with no CSP; source files reference remabledesigns.com and jpillora.com among others.
- Extension last updated 19 months ago; stale maintenance window allows CVE exposure to persist.
Evidence
- privacy_policy_generic_with_sharing api Policy fetched (tiny.cc redirect); scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0 privacy (D rule).
- jquery_cve_triple_moderate crx jquery@1.9.1 carries CVE-2015-9251, CVE-2019-11358, CVE-2020-11023; all unfixed in bundled version.
- no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default CSP applies but no explicit policy tightening.
- external_hosts_12 crx 12 external JS hosts in source including remabledesigns.com, jpillora.com, popper.js.org — >3 distinct domains.
- stale_19mo store Last updated November 2024; 19 months since update → maintenance +6.0 band.
- featured_by_google store is_featured_by_google=true applies -2.0 reputation discount.
- developer_name_abbreviated store Developer name is 'VD' — abbreviated, low-accountability signal; email on firelinks.io domain partially offsets.
- obfuscation_none_code_clean crx obfuscation_score=0.0, code_findings_raw empty; no active malicious code detected.
