Top Risks

• Uninstall and install URL hijacks redirect to owhit.com — classic traffic-monetization shell pattern.
• New-tab override replaces every new tab; paired with 'search' permission for potential search monetization.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — does not scope to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified business identity or publisher badge.
• Extension contacts 8 external hosts (YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, X, ChatGPT, etc.) far beyond a wallpaper function.

Evidence

• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/arsenal-wallpaper — 3rd-party install URL hijack.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL points to https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party uninstall hijack.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab with extension content.
• external_hosts_excess crx 8 JS external hosts including chatgpt.com, netflix.com, instagram.com — far beyond wallpaper scope.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy is Google's own account privacy page; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email ulasnecla06@gmail.com; no verified publisher; no business domain.
• search_permission_newtab manifest 'search' permission + newtab override = monetization-ready search-capture pattern.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; csp_present=false on MV3 extension with external hosts.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/manipulating search engine; paired with newtab override amplifies search monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab with extension page; core vector for ad-monetization shells.
