Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Los Angeles Lakers Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com and install URL hijack — classic monetization-shell pattern.
• Privacy policy is generic Google account policy, not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified business identity; no verified-publisher badge.
• NewTab override with search permission — high potential for search/ad monetization on every new tab.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL points to https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party monetization domain.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/los-angeles-lakers-wallpaper — 3rd-party domain engagement on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab with developer-controlled page.
• generic_privacy_policy store Privacy policy is Google account policy (scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true).
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email yusufkerem050@gmail.com; no verified publisher, no business domain.
• js_external_hosts crx 8 external hosts including owhit.com, instagram, netflix, youtube, x.com — excessive for a wallpaper/newtab.
• no_csp crx content_security_policy is null; no CSP protection on MV3 extension.
• search_permission_newtab manifest search permission combined with newtab override enables search provider manipulation for monetization.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Los Angeles Lakers Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.88 -> 8.38 (+2.5 cap 2.5).
