🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Brand impersonation: extension name uses 'Slack' brand; developer not confirmed as Slack owner.
- Near-zombie maintenance: 35 months since last update approaches >36mo critical threshold.
- Privacy policy fetched but scope_extension==false and third_party_silence==true; coverage inadequate.
- Install+uninstall URL hijack flags set; targets unspecified, indicating potential redirect behavior.
- No developer name listed; anonymous publisher with only petasittek.com email identity.
Evidence
- brand_impersonation store brand_mention.is_impersonation=true for 'slack'; confirmed_owner=false; developer is petasittek.com.
- install_uninstall_hijack manifest install_url_hijack=true AND uninstall_url_hijack=true; targets null but flags present in CRX.
- maintenance_stale store Last updated July 31 2023; 35 months since update, near 36mo critical band.
- privacy_policy_inadequate api Policy fetched; scope_extension=false, data_collection=false, third_party_silence=true -> +9.0+1.0.
- no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit policy hardening.
- no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; +1.0 reputation penalty for anonymous publisher.
- verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true but 0c cap applies: months_since_update=35>18mo caps discount to -1.0.
- content_script_slack manifest content_scripts inject into https://app.slack.com/*; can access full Slack message DOM.
Permissions Breakdown
- activeTab low Grants access to current tab only when user invokes extension; limited scope.
- storage low Local key-value storage; no cross-site or sensitive data surface.
- content_scripts: https://app.slack.com/* medium Injects JS into Slack; can read messages/DOM on that domain.
