Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Digital Projection Of A Planet Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• NewTab override with uninstall URL hijack to dev domain — monetization shell pattern.
• Install URL hijack fires on install, redirecting user to gameograf.com for tracking.
• Stale 15 months; MV3 but no CSP — DOM-XSS sink (innerHTML) in popup.js unmitigated.
• No developer name listed despite verified publisher status; low install count (518).

Evidence

• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab set to newtab.html — replaces every new tab.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL to https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=gameograf&utm_campaign=bg&utm_content=uninstall
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=install&utm_campaign=bg&utm_content=install
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit CSP hardening.
• dom_xss_sink crx innerHTML assigned from variable in js/popup.js with no CSP — DOM-XSS risk.
• maintenance_stale store Last updated June 2025; 15 months since update at scoring time — 6-12mo band.
• verified_publisher store Publisher verified; domain resolves; not throwaway; privacy policy scoped and complete.
• search_permission_newtab manifest search permission combined with newtab override enables search query interception.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Digital Projection Of A Planet Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 3.26 -> 5.76 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading search terms; paired with newtab override increases monetization risk.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain only.
• chrome_url_overrides: newtab medium Replaces new-tab page; primary vector for search hijack and ad monetization.
