Top Risks

• NewTab override replaces browser new-tab page, primary monetization surface; paired with 'search' permission.
• Uninstall and install URL hijacks redirect to gameograf.com with UTM tracking on every install/uninstall.
• DOM-XSS sink (innerHTML from variable) in popup.js with no CSP to mitigate.
• No developer name supplied; 147 installs with zero ratings limits accountability signal.
• Stale extension (15 months since update) with newtab override increases long-tail risk.

Evidence

• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab set to newtab.html — replaces every new-tab page.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL targets https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=gameograf&utm_campaign=bg&utm_content=uninstall
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=install&utm_campaign=bg&utm_content=install
• dom_xss_sink crx innerHTML assigned from variable in js/popup.js; no CSP present to mitigate DOM-XSS.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null (MV3 default applies, but no explicit CSP hardening).
• verified_publisher store Developer gameograf.com is verified publisher; domain resolves and not throwaway.
• maintenance_stale store Last updated June 6 2025; months_since_update=15, scoring 6-12mo band.
• privacy_policy_adequate api Policy fetched; scope_extension, data_collection, retention, third_party_sharing all true.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading and potentially influencing search queries; paired with newtab override raises concern.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain; limited blast radius.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces new-tab page; primary monetization surface for wallpaper/NewTab shells.
