🚫 BLOCK
Top Risks
- THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Sad Panda Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
- NewTab override with install/uninstall URL hijack — classic traffic-monetization shell pattern with 7 compound siblings
- Privacy policy URL returns connection error (fetch_error) — treated as no policy, score +10.0
- Operator cluster: 28 siblings by dev email, 7 by compound fingerprint — large-scale wallpaper farm
- Two innerHTML DOM-XSS sinks with no CSP — elevated code quality risk in MV3 context
Evidence
- uninstall_url_hijack + install_url_hijack crx Both onInstall and onUninstall redirect to gameograf.com with UTM tracking — monetization shell.
- chrome_url_overrides.newtab manifest Replaces new tab page (newtab.html); paired with search permission = search-monetization risk.
- operator_cluster api 7 compound siblings, 28 siblings by dev email — large NewTab/wallpaper farm under gameograf.com.
- privacy_policy_fetch_error api Privacy policy URL unreachable (ConnectionError); classified as fetched==false → +10.0 privacy.
- dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl (x2) crx innerHTML sinks in popup.js and calendar.js with no CSP — DOM-XSS risk per FIX B.
- new_tab_override_monetization store NewTab + install/uninstall hijack + search permission = +2.0+3.0+3.0 webstore signals.
- no_developer_name store Developer display name is empty; manifest name is __MSG_appName__ — identity opacity.

- threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Sad Panda Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.33 -> 7.83 (+2.5 cap 2.5).
Permissions Breakdown

- host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain; expected for a NewTab extension fetching content.
