Top Risks

  • proxy permission routes ALL browser traffic through developer-controlled infrastructure — highest-risk single permission.
  • Privacy policy is Google's own generic policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true — effectively no extension-scoped policy.
  • Developer is anonymous free-webmail (gmail), no name, no verified business; classic throwaway-account pattern.
  • install_url_hijack=true: extension opens 3rd-party URL on install (app.getmyxa.com / t.me external hosts present).
  • Only 47 installs with a HIGH-tier permission (proxy) flags as small_install_high_perm tail-attack-surface risk.

Evidence

  • proxy_permission manifest proxy declared — routes all browser traffic; combined with external host app.getmyxa.com this is a critical capability.
  • install_url_hijack manifest install_url_hijack=true; js_external_hosts include app.getmyxa.com and t.me — monetization/redirect risk.
  • generic_privacy_policy store Privacy URL is Google's own policy (myaccount.google.com); scope_extension=false, third_party_sharing=true.
  • free_webmail_anonymous_dev store Developer email sedatkilli87@gmail.com, developer_name empty, no verified publisher, no featured badge.
  • geo_diversity crx JS hosted in NL and RU (country_count=2); RU jurisdiction adds geopolitical interception risk for a VPN.
  • small_install_high_perm api 47 installs with proxy permission; install_perm_anomaly.small_install_high_perm=true.
  • no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 defaults apply but no explicit CSP declared.
  • cve_findings_raw_empty crx No CVEs detected in bundled libraries; cve_findings_raw=[].

Permissions Breakdown

  • proxy high Controls all browser network traffic routing; extreme capability for a VPN but also highest-risk permission.
