Top Risks

• NewTab override replaces every new tab; combined with 'search' permission creates monetization surface.
• Uninstall URL hijack routes users to gameograf.com on removal — telemetry/monetization pattern.
• Install URL hijack fires on installation — onboarding tracking to 3rd-party URL.
• No CSP declared (MV3 default helps but dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl present in popup.js — XSS risk).
• 14-month-stale extension with newtab override; future updates could silently add capabilities.

Evidence

• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = newtab.html; replaces every new tab page.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL targets gameograf.com with UTM params — monetization/tracking signal.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens gameograf.com with UTM params — install tracking.
• dom_sink_innerhtml crx js/popup.js assigns innerHTML from variable — DOM-XSS sink; no CSP to mitigate.
• maintenance_stale store Last updated June 2025; 14 months since update — 6-12 month band (+3.5).
• verified_publisher store Verified publisher badge present; discount applied but capped due to months_since_update>12.
• privacy_policy api Policy fetched; scope_extension=true, data_collection=true, retention=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit hardening.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/overriding search queries; medium risk for a NewTab extension.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain only.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces every new tab with extension page; primary monetization vector for this category.
