Top Risks
- proxy permission routes all browser traffic through gusentun.space — unverified Russian-hosted server, high MITM risk
- Install URL hijack opens gusentun.space on install — active C2/tracking beacon pattern
- Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy, wholly unscoped to this extension — admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing
- Free-webmail dev (gmail), no developer name, no verified publisher — zero accountability
- MV3 + no CSP + proxy: high-capability extension with no content security controls and only 16 installs
Evidence
- proxy_permission manifest proxy declared — full network interception capability; all traffic can be tunneled to gusentun.space (RU-hosted).
- install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://gusentun.space — third-party domain, typical C2 beacon or affiliate-registration pattern.
- js_external_host crx gusentun.space is the sole external JS host; single RU-country endpoint for a VPN extension.
- privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google Account policy (479 KB); scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true — D clause triggers +10.
- free_webmail_no_devname store Developer email norkienej@gmail.com, developer_name empty, no verified publisher — reputation floor applies.
- small_install_high_perm api install_perm_anomaly: 16 installs with HIGH-tier proxy permission — tail attack surface.
- no_csp manifest csp_present=false on MV3; v2 fix (b) adds +2.0 Network for MV2 only, but absence still noted as risk indicator.
- geo_diversity crx All JS hosts in RU only; VPN routing to single unverified Russian endpoint.
Permissions Breakdown
- proxy high Full proxy control — can intercept and redirect all network traffic through attacker-controlled servers.
