Top Risks

  • new Function() on storage-sourced value in background.js enables remote code execution if storage is poisoned.
  • eval() in twitch_utils.js on variable input; no CSP to mitigate.
  • innerHTML sinks in popup.js and share.js with user-controlled data; DOM-XSS risk without CSP.
  • Brand impersonation: Spotify mentioned in name/description but developer is unaffiliated (confirmed_owner=false).
  • 12 external JS hosts contacted (CDN, analytics, Sentry, GitHub pages) with broad *://*/* host permission and no CSP.

Evidence

  • function_constructor_storage_newvalue crx background.js: new Function(changes.injectnow.newValue) — executes arbitrary code from storage changes.
  • eval_user_input crx twitch_utils.js: eval(workerString) — direct eval of variable, no CSP present.
  • no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but code evals are not blocked by it.
  • brand_impersonation store brand_mention.is_impersonation=true for Spotify; confirmed_owner=false; verified_publisher=true.
  • uninstall_url_hijack crx uninstall_url_hijack=true; uninstall_url_target null but flag set by scanner.
  • 12_external_hosts crx JS contacts blockify.b-cdn.net, insights.getblockify.com, sentry.getblockify.com, sweetalert2.github.io and 8 others.
  • host_geo_diversity api JS hosts span 4 countries (CA, IN, NL, US); elevated for Adblock category.
  • verified_publisher_featured store verified_publisher=true and is_featured_by_google=true; discounts applied but capped per v3.5(E) due to no domain-age data.

Permissions Breakdown

  • declarativeNetRequest medium Core ad-blocking capability; matches stated function.
  • declarativeNetRequestFeedback medium Reads blocked-request logs; moderate info exposure.
  • scripting high Programmatic script injection into pages; broad with *://*/*HostPermission.
  • storage low Local state storage; standard.
  • background low Persistent service worker; standard for MV3 adblockers.
  • activeTab low Scoped to user-invoked tab; low risk.
  • webNavigation medium Observes full navigation events across all tabs.
  • tabs medium Access to tab URLs and metadata; moderate.
  • alarms low Scheduling only; negligible risk.
  • *://*/* (host_permission) high Broad host access; scripting+all_urls combo is high capability. Justified-broad discount applied for Adblock category.
