Top Risks
- Privacy policy is Google's own policy (not extension-scoped); admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing — worst-case privacy disclosure.
- Uninstall and install URL hijack flags set; install redirect targets web.whatsapp.com (hijack confirmed).
- WhatsApp brand impersonation by unverified developer on extensao.store domain.
- 10 external JS hosts on wascript.com.br / watools.com.br; no CSP — remote code risk over broad WhatsApp session access.
- function_constructor + innerHTML sink without CSP creates XSS/code-injection risk inside WhatsApp Web session.
