Top Risks
- Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy, not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
- content_scripts run on <all_urls> — full page access on every site visited.
- No CSP declared; DOM-XSS sink (innerHTML) in sites.js has no mitigating policy.
- Free-webmail developer (gmail.com) with no verified business presence or publisher badge.
- Description claims ad-blocking but extension lacks declarativeNetRequest/webRequest — promise/permission mismatch.
Evidence
- content_scripts_matches=<all_urls> manifest Content script injected into every URL; broad reach for a productivity timer.
- privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is myaccount.google.com — Google's own policy, not scoped to this extension.
- privacy_policy_classification api fetched=true, scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0 privacy.
- dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl crx sites.js: innerHTML assigned from variable; no CSP to mitigate DOM-XSS.
- no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default is strict but no explicit CSP set.
- description_promise_mismatch store Description promises website blocker/ad-blocking but declarativeNetRequest/webRequest absent.
- free_webmail_developer store Developer email is gemmueldelacruz@gmail.com; no verified publisher badge.
- is_featured_by_google store Extension carries Google Featured badge, partially mitigating reputation risk.
Permissions Breakdown
- storage low Stores timer/task state locally; standard for productivity apps.
- notifications low Pomodoro timer break alerts; expected for this category.
- offscreen low Used for audio playback (focus music) in background; low standalone risk.
- content_scripts <all_urls> high Injects JS into every page; required for site blocker but broad reach.
