Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — My Little Pony Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic traffic-monetization shell signal.
• Install URL hijack opens owhit.com on install — onInstalled redirects to 3rd-party domain.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy, not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• NewTab override combined with 'search' permission and 8 external JS hosts (YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, X, ChatGPT) is anomalous for a wallpaper app.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL points to https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party traffic capture.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/my-little-pony-wallpaper — 3rd-party redirect on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; every new tab served by this extension.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_no_dev_name store Developer email tekbatuhan64@gmail.com; developer_name empty; no business domain.
• external_js_hosts_anomaly crx 8 external hosts referenced: owhit.com, chatgpt.com, netflix.com, instagram.com, x.com, youtube.com, etc.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit CSP declared.
• verified_publisher_flagged store verified_publisher=true but monetization shell signals (owhit.com hijacks) cap discount to -1.0 per v3.5 invariant 0c/E.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — My Little Pony Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.41 -> 7.91 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows overriding search provider; medium risk on its own but combined with newtab override raises concern.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab with extension page; broad reach, classic monetization shell surface.
