🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Privacy policy admits data collection and third-party sharing but is not scoped to this extension — privacy pillar maxes at 10.
- Free-webmail dev email (gmail) with no developer name listed elevates reputation risk.
- scripting + <all_urls> content_scripts allow code injection on every visited page.
- DOM innerHTML sink in chat JS (dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl) — potential XSS vector.
- AI extension processes page content and contacts wandpen.com; policy does not disclose retention.
