Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Peppa Pig Wallpaper Gameograf [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — not scoped to this extension, yet admits data collection and third-party sharing (+10 privacy).
• NewTab override + search permission = classic search-monetization shell; uninstall & install URL hijack confirmed.
• Install and uninstall URL hijacks redirect to gameograf.com with UTM tracking, signalling traffic monetization.
• No developer display name listed; manifest name/description are locale placeholders hiding actual content.

Evidence

• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is myaccount.google.com/privacypolicy — Google's own policy, not scoped to extension; data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• newtab_override_monetization manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html combined with 'search' permission — textbook NewTab search monetization pattern.
• install_uninstall_url_hijack crx Both install and uninstall URLs redirect to gameograf.com with UTM campaign params (bg/install, bg/uninstall).
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; manifest_name is locale placeholder __MSG_appName__ — identity obscured.
• dom_xss_sink crx js/popup.js: innerHTML assigned from variable with no CSP guard — DOM-XSS risk.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; csp_present=false on MV3 extension with external JS hosts including mlionltd.github.io.
• external_host_github_io crx js_external_hosts includes mlionltd.github.io — third-party GitHub Pages domain outside developer control.
• stale_16mo store Last updated May 2025 but months_since_update=16 — maintenance score elevated (6-12 month band).
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Peppa Pig Wallpaper Gameograf [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.38 -> 7.88 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/manipulating search queries; combined with NewTab override raises monetization risk.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain; limited blast radius.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces every new tab page; primary surface for search monetization.
