Recommendation:
🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Content scripts injected on <all_urls> with no CSP — broad reach across every site visited.
- Privacy policy admits data collection and third-party sharing but is not scoped to this extension.
- Extension is 26 months stale (zombie risk: future compromise or silent capability change).
- Dynamic script creation and Function constructor in editor.js raise code-execution concern.
- Uninstall URL hijack flag set; post-removal redirect to unknown third party.
Evidence
- host_permissions <all_urls> + content_scripts <all_urls> manifest Extension injects content scripts on every URL; scripting permission amplifies reach.
- no CSP (csp_present=false) crx MV3 with no explicit CSP; dynamic script creation finding is higher risk without CSP boundary.
- privacy policy: data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true, scope_extension=false api Policy on GitHub admits collection and sharing but does not scope to Auto Highlight → D-clause +10.0.
- months_since_update=26 store Last updated April 2024; 26 months stale maps to +8.5 maintenance score.
- uninstall_url_hijack=true crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL() redirects user on removal; target URL not disclosed.
- code_findings: function_constructor + script_src_dynamic crx new Function() and dynamic <script> in editor.js — webpack runtime pattern but no CSP to constrain it.
- verified_publisher=true + is_featured_by_google=true store Verified publisher and featured; reputation discounts applied but capped per v3.5E (monetization check clean).
- developer_name empty, email admin@FastAddons.com store No 'Offered by' display name; domain resolves and not throwaway, partially mitigated by verified badge.
Permissions Breakdown
- contextMenus low Adds right-click menu items; low standalone risk.
- storage low Stores extension settings locally; low risk.
- scripting medium Executes scripts in pages; elevated when paired with <all_urls>.
- alarms low Schedules background tasks; low risk on its own.
- activeTab low Access current tab on user gesture; scoped and low risk.
- <all_urls> (host_permission) high Content scripts injected on every site; broad reach amplifies scripting risk.
