Top Risks

• NewTab override replaces every new tab page — persistent high-reach monetization surface with uninstall/install URL hijacks.
• Uninstall and install URL hijacks fire tracking beacons to gameograf.com on every install/remove event.
• No developer name listed, lowering accountability; extension is a fan-content shell around an anime theme.
• innerHTML DOM-XSS sink in calendar.js with no CSP — low exploitability but present code quality gap.
• No CSP on MV3 extension; csp_present==false adds minor network risk on an extension contacting 12 external hosts.

Evidence

• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab set to newtab.html — replaces every new tab for all users.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL targets https://gameograf.com/?p=6196?utm_source=extension&utm_medium=uninstall (+3.0 Webstore).
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://gameograf.com/?p=6196?utm_source=extension&utm_medium=install (+2.0 Webstore).
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string — no 'Offered by' identity visible (+1.0 Reputation).
• dom_sink_innerhtml crx innerHTML sink in js/calendar.js without CSP — DOM-XSS risk, no obfuscation detected.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; csp_present==false on MV3 extension contacting 12 external JS hosts.
• privacy_policy_adequate api Policy fetched, scoped to extension, discloses data collection, retention, and third-party sharing. Privacy pillar low.
• fan_content_shell store Anime character wallpaper NewTab with no stated primary function beyond theming — fan-content shell pattern (+1.5 Webstore).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading and potentially influencing search provider; notable for a NewTab extension.
• alarms low Scheduling only; minimal risk.
• storage low Local data persistence; standard.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces every new tab — high reach, monetization surface.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* medium Scoped to developer's own API; acceptable but still an outbound channel.
