Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — BLACKPINK Wallpapers New Tab Lisa Rose Jennie Jisoo [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Google's own privacy policy used — not scoped to this extension, admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing (+10 privacy).
• Uninstall and install URL hijacks redirect users to gameograf.com tracking links (+3+2 webstore).
• bit.ly affiliate/cloaking link in JS hosts — redirects destination opaque (+1.5 webstore).
• NewTab override controls every new tab session; combined with 'search' permission enables search monetization.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL to gameograf.com with UTM tracking params — monetization redirect.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens gameograf.com with UTM tracking — install hijack confirmed.
• privacy_policy_google_generic store Privacy URL is myaccount.google.com/privacypolicy — Google's policy, not scoped to this extension.
• privacy_policy_classification api scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true — D-clause: +10.0 privacy.
• affiliate_hit_bitly crx bit.ly in js_external_hosts — generic short-link redirector flagged as affiliate/cloaking.
• newtab_override_search_perm manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab + search permission — classic search-monetization NewTab shell.
• dom_sink_innerhtml crx popup.js assigns innerHTML from variable with no CSP — DOM-XSS risk unmitigated.
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string — no 'Offered by' identity presented to users.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — BLACKPINK Wallpapers New Tab Lisa Rose Jennie Jisoo [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.73 -> 8.23 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows search-provider interaction; paired with newtab override amplifies monetization risk.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain; low breadth but enables data exfil to dev server.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces every new tab with extension page; high user-reach monetization surface.
