Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Shopify Search By Image + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Uninstall URL hijack redirects to saxsos.xyz — classic monetization/tracking shell pattern.
• Privacy policy admits data collection and third-party sharing without extension-specific scope (D rule: +10.0).
• Brand impersonation: claims Shopify affiliation; developer is unverified gmail account.
• Broad <all_urls> host access with no CSP; DOM-XSS sink (innerHTML) compounds risk.
