🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Broad host permissions (all HTTP/HTTPS) + scripting allow arbitrary content injection across every site visited.
- Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — does not scope to this extension at all; data practices undisclosed.
- Developer is a free-webmail (gmail) individual with no verifiable business identity.
- No CSP (MV3 default applies but no explicit policy) and 12 external JS hosts including sensitive services (mail.google.com, ChatGPT).
- install_url_hijack flag is true — extension opens a URL on install, increasing monetization/tracking risk.
Evidence
- broad_host_permissions manifest host_permissions: http://*/* and https://*/* paired with scripting permission — can inject scripts on any page.
- privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account privacy page; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0.
- free_webmail_developer store Developer email jacob.hilton@gmail.com; no business website; individual unverified identity.
- install_url_hijack crx install_url_hijack=true; target null but onInstalled opens third-party URL — monetization/tracking vector.
- external_js_hosts crx 12 external hosts including chatgpt.com, mail.google.com, maps.google.com — broad network reach.
- no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit restriction on connect-src.
- featured_by_google store is_featured_by_google=true — partial trust signal; applies -2.0 reputation discount.
- cve_findings_empty crx No CVEs or code findings detected; obfuscation_score=0.0; code quality clean.
