Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Ore lVpn [browser-hijack] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• proxy permission routes all browser traffic through maskirovka.space and app.myxavpn.pro — unverified Russian-linked domains.
• Install URL hijack opens maskirovka.space on install; .space domain with Cyrillic name is high-risk operator signal.
• Privacy policy is Google's own generic policy — not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and third-party sharing.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail), no developer name, no verified publisher — zero accountability.

Evidence

• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens maskirovka.space — a throwaway-pattern .space domain with Cyrillic VPN name.
• proxy_permission manifest proxy declared; all browser traffic routable through developer-controlled servers.
• js_external_hosts crx Extension contacts app.myxavpn.pro, maskirovka.space, t.me — none are established VPN infrastructure.
• generic_privacy_policy store Privacy policy URL is Google's account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_no_devname store Developer email norkienej@gmail.com; developer_name empty; no verified publisher; no business identity.
• host_geo_diversity api JS hosts span NL and RU — Russia-linked infrastructure for a proxy extension is elevated risk.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 provides strict default but no explicit policy declared.
• rating_suspicious store Rating 5/5 with no install count and no rating count — likely fake or manipulated reviews.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Ore lVpn [browser-hijack] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 4.50 -> 7.00 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• proxy high Allows full routing of browser traffic through attacker-controlled servers; critical capability for a VPN.
