🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Uninstall URL hijack to saxsos.xyz — classic monetization/tracking shell pattern.
- Privacy policy admits data collection and third-party sharing without scoping to this extension (D rule: +10.0 privacy).
- Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified business domain; saxsos.xyz used as primary backend.
- JS external host saxsos.xyz contacts extension backend; policy on same domain is unscoped.
- Install URL hijack to welcome.html with external host suggests onboarding funnel to saxsos.xyz.
Evidence
- uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL -> https://www.saxsos.xyz/p/sorry.html (3rd-party domain).
- install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens welcome.html; js_external_hosts includes www.saxsos.xyz.
- privacy_policy_unscoped_with_sharing store Policy fetched; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true — D rule triggers +10.0.
- free_webmail_developer store Developer email ecomstal.official@gmail.com; no verified business domain; reputation floor 7.5.
- js_external_host crx Extension loads/contacts www.saxsos.xyz — same domain as privacy policy and uninstall URL.
- no_csp crx content_security_policy is null / csp_present=false; MV3 mitigates but no explicit CSP declared.
- very_low_install_count store Only 5 installs; new/unproven extension with no ratings.
- host_geo_diversity api JS hosts span RU, SG, US (3 countries); below +1.5 threshold of 4.
