Risk Score

Risk Level:
Low
Recommendation:
🚫 BLOCK
FORCE-BLOCK
Top Risks
- FORCE BLOCK: management + broad host access — extension can disable security tools AND has full traffic-routing capability.
- eval() of variable in twitch userscript + management permission creates elevated code-exec risk.
- management permission allows enumeration and control of other installed extensions.
- Privacy policy discloses third-party data sharing; no isolation to extension context concerns.
- 11 distinct external JS hosts including retail/streaming domains; broad network surface for adblock category.
Evidence
- verified_publisher + featured store Verified publisher badge and featured by Google; reputation floor applied at 2.0.
- eval_user_input crx eval(workerString) in twitch-vaft-userscript-v2.js — dynamic eval of variable.
- function_constructor x3 crx new Function('return this') pattern in 3 content scripts; low-severity globalThis polyfill pattern.
- management permission manifest management permission declared; can enumerate/disable other extensions — high risk not fully justified by adblock.
- privacy_policy third_party_sharing api Policy fetched, scoped, data_collection+third_party_sharing=true, retention=true. +1.0 for sharing.
- uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL() called; target URL not captured for verification.
- js_external_hosts x11 crx 11 distinct external hosts including retail (amazon, asos, acehardware) and twitch.tv — expected for affiliate adblock.
- cve_findings_raw empty crx No CVEs detected in bundled libraries (jquery 3.7.1, react 16.13.1). CVE pillar = 0.

- scripting high Arbitrary script injection into pages; core to adblock function.
- webNavigation medium Monitors navigation events across all tabs.
- unlimitedStorage low Storage quota only; no data access risk.
- declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess high Intercept/block network requests broadly; expected for adblock.
- declarativeNetRequestFeedback low Read-only feedback on matched rules.
- webRequest high Observe all network requests; core adblock capability.
- management high Can enumerate/manage other extensions; elevated risk.
- offscreen low Off-screen document; limited risk surface.
