Risk Score
4.82
Risk Level:
Medium
Recommendation:
🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- cookies + scripting + <all_urls>: extension can read/write cookies and inject code on every site the user visits
- 16 innerHTML DOM-XSS sinks across core scripts with no CSP — severe risk of content injection into extension UI
- No CSP (MV3 content_security_policy null) with function_constructor usage in bundled sweetalert2 and service-worker
- AI extension processes page content and contacts external hosts including jsdelivr CDN and Google services
- No developer name listed; AI agent category with broad host access warrants manual review before enterprise deployment
Evidence
- broad_host_access_cookies_scripting manifest cookies + scripting + http://*/* + https://*/* — can read all cookies and inject scripts on any site
- no_csp crx content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit hardening
- dom_sink_innerHTML_pervasive crx 14 innerHTML DOM-XSS sinks in scripts/asksteve.js, backup.js, sidepanel.js, service-worker.js, and 10 others
- function_constructor_in_bundled_lib crx new Function() in sweetalert2.min.js and service-worker.js; no CSP amplifies risk
- ai_extension_page_content store AI agent category; processes page content via content_scripts on all URLs
- external_cdn_host crx js_external_hosts includes www.jsdelivr.com — external CDN contact from extension code
- no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; only email support@asksteve.to available
- featured_by_google store is_featured_by_google=true provides moderate reputation signal; not verified publisher
