Top Risks
- Instagram brand impersonation by free-webmail developer with no business identity.
- cookies + webRequest on instagram.com enables session token theft and request interception.
- Privacy policy is Google's own policy — not scoped to this extension; data_collection+third_party_sharing admitted.
- No CSP combined with innerHTML DOM-XSS sink and new Function() constructor raises code-execution risk.
- install_url_hijack opens instagram.com on install; external hosts include unknown domains check.statatracker.com and user.firstassay.com.
Evidence
- brand_impersonation store brand_mention.is_impersonation=true; developer is gmail user with no confirmed ownership of Instagram brand.
- free_webmail_developer manifest developer_email=stipestoykovich@gmail.com; developer_name empty; no business domain.
- cookies_plus_broad_host manifest cookies + webRequest + *://*.instagram.com/* enables full session token read on Instagram.
- unscoped_privacy_policy store Privacy URL points to Google's own account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
- no_csp_with_dom_sink crx csp_present=false; code has innerHTML userctrl sink and new Function() — DOM-XSS and code-exec risk.
- suspicious_external_hosts crx js_external_hosts includes check.statatracker.com and user.firstassay.com — unknown third-party domains.
- install_url_hijack crx install_url_hijack=true; target=https://www.instagram.com/ on install.
- featured_by_google store is_featured_by_google=true; provides minor trust signal but does not offset impersonation+privacy risks.
