Top Risks

  • THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Palant affiliate fraud cluster (name unconfirmed) [adware] (+2.0, capped).
  • 7 affiliate-network hosts hardcoded in JS (ValueCommerce, Rakuten, DMM, A8.net, Amazon affiliate) — adblocker injecting affiliate links is category fraud.
  • Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy (scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true) — worst-case privacy disclosure.
  • Developer is anonymous gmail account with no business identity, no developer name, and no dev domain.
  • webRequest + scripting + <all_urls> on an extension that contacts affiliate networks creates high exfiltration and redirect risk.

Evidence

  • affiliate_hits crx 7 affiliate-network hosts in js_external_hosts: ValueCommerce, Rakuten, DMM, A8.net, Amazon affiliate, bit.ly — affiliate injection in adblocker.
  • privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account privacy page; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true — D clause → +10.0.
  • developer_identity store developer_name empty, developer_email=hecafinbinh@gmail.com, brand_mention.developer_domain=gmail.com — no verifiable business identity.
  • verified_publisher_with_monetization store verified_publisher=true but monetization_hits non-empty → invariant 0c/3.5-E caps publisher discount at -1.0.
  • script_src_dynamic crx 20 files with dynamic script creation in rulesets/scripting/scriptlet/ — typical scriptlet pattern but present in non-remote-URL form.
  • obfuscation_identifier crx annoyances-overlays.abort-on-property-read.js contains _0xfff1-style identifiers (obfuscation_score=0.01, low overall).
  • high_perm_broad_host manifest webRequest + scripting + <all_urls> + content_scripts on http://*/* https://*/* — maximum reach with script injection capability.
  • affiliate_category_mismatch crx Adblock category extension referencing Amazon/Rakuten/DMM affiliate APIs is monetization shell pattern despite stated blocking function.
  • threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Palant affiliate fraud cluster (name unconfirmed) [adware]; score 4.21 -> 6.21 (+2.0 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

  • tabs medium Access to tab URLs and metadata; moderate risk for an adblocker.
  • declarativeNetRequest medium Core adblocker permission; justified for stated function.
  • storage low Stores filter lists and settings locally.
  • webRequest high Can observe all network requests across all URLs; broad surveillance capability.
  • scripting high Can inject scripts into any page; combined with <all_urls> enables full page manipulation.
  • <all_urls> high Host permission covering every site the user visits; maximum reach.
