• Uninstall & install URL hijack redirect users to developer marketing pages — classic monetization shell.
• scripting + *://*/*eable JS injection on every site with no CSP guard.
• Privacy policy admits data collection and third-party sharing with no retention period disclosed.
• Small install count (585) combined with HIGH-tier permissions is a tail-attack-surface signal.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL points to tabplugins.com marketing page with UTM params — monetization redirect.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens tabplugins.com/hunter-x-hunter-cursor/ with UTM params.
• broad_host_scripting manifest scripting + host_permissions *://*/* allows JS injection on all sites; no CSP present.
• dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl crx innerHTML assignment from variable in main.4964ab1e.js — DOM-XSS sink; no CSP mitigates.
• small_install_high_perm store 585 installs with HIGH-tier permissions (scripting + all_urls) — install_perm_anomaly flagged.
• privacy_policy_third_party_sharing api Policy scoped to extension, collects data, shares with third parties, no retention period stated.
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; no 'Offered by' identity beyond email domain.
• verified_publisher store Verified publisher badge present — partial reputation credit applied.

Permissions Breakdown

• storage low Stores cursor preferences locally; low standalone risk.
• unlimitedStorage low Allows unlimited local storage; modest risk for a cursor extension.
• scripting high Allows arbitrary JS injection into all pages via host_permissions *://*/*.
• *://*/* (host_permissions) high Broad host access pairs with scripting — can read/modify every page visited.
