Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Purple Sunset Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• NewTab override + 'search' permission: classic search-monetization shell pattern with uninstall URL hijack.
• Uninstall and install URL hijacks redirect to gameograf.com with UTM tracking parameters.
• Operator cluster shows 15 extensions under same dev email and 7 sharing the same uninstall URL pattern.

Evidence

• newtab_override_monetization manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab set with 'search' permission — textbook search-monetization pattern.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL points to https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=extension&utm_medium=install.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://gameograf.com/?utm_source=lofi&utm_medium=install.
• generic_privacy_policy api Policy URL is Google's own privacy page; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• operator_cluster api dev_email sibling_count=15; uninstall_url shared by 7 extensions under same fingerprint.
• dom_xss_no_csp crx Two innerHTML sinks in popup.js and calendar.js; csp_present=false on MV3 extension.
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; reduces accountability signal.
• verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true; caps reputation discount per rules but does not offset monetization shell signals.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Purple Sunset Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 4.64 -> 7.14 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows querying the browser's search service; concerning in a NewTab/wallpaper extension.
• host_permissions: https://api.gameograf.com/* low Scoped to developer's own API domain; limited blast radius.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces new-tab page — prime surface for search monetization.
