Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Death Note Cursor - Custom Anime Cursor for Chrome [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Uninstall and install URL hijacks redirect to tabplugins.com — confirmed monetization shell pattern.
• Google's own privacy policy submitted as extension policy: admits data collection + 3rd-party sharing with no extension scope.
• scripting + *://*/* allows arbitrary JS injection on every site the user visits.
• Free-webmail dev (gmail), no developer name, no business website — unverifiable identity.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://tabplugins.com/cursors/ (3rd-party redirect).
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://tabplugins.com/death-note-cursor/ (3rd-party redirect).
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy is Google's account privacy page; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_no_devname store Dev email waqasamjad1232@gmail.com; developer_name empty; no business domain verifiable.
• broad_host_scripting manifest scripting + host_permissions *://*/* enables JS injection on all sites; unjustified for cursor extension.
• dom_sink_innerhtml crx innerHTML sink in main.4964ab1e.js with no CSP; DOM-XSS risk elevated.
• install_perm_anomaly api 806 installs, HIGH-tier permissions — small_install_high_perm and tail_attack_surface both true.
• stale_15mo store Last updated May 2025, 15 months since update; maintenance risk elevated (6-12mo band).
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Death Note Cursor - Custom Anime Cursor for Chrome [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 6.69 -> 9.19 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• storage low Standard local data persistence; low risk on its own.
• unlimitedStorage low Allows larger local storage quota; minimal risk for a cursor extension.
• scripting high Combined with *://*/* host access allows arbitrary JS injection on all sites.
• *://*/* high Broad host access; cursor extension has no justified need for all URLs.
