Top Risks

  • Brand impersonation: extension name/description references Claude and DeepSeek without confirmed ownership.
  • declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess + content scripts on 9 major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) — can intercept/modify sensitive AI conversations.
  • Uninstall URL hijack detected — extension sets a third-party uninstall URL.
  • dom_sink_innerhtml_userctrl in content context creates DOM-XSS risk on AI chat pages.
  • No developer display name; AI extension processing page content on high-value targets.

Evidence

  • brand_impersonation store brand_mention.is_impersonation=true; mentions Claude, DeepSeek without confirmed_owner=true.
  • uninstall_url_hijack crx uninstall_url_hijack=true; chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL() targeting third party.
  • declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess manifest HIGH permission + host_permissions on 9 major AI platforms enables request interception/modification.
  • content_scripts_on_ai_platforms manifest Content scripts injected into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, DeepSeek, Mistral, Meta AI.
  • dom_sink_innerhtml crx innerHTML used from variable in content script chunk; DOM-XSS risk on AI chat pages.
  • verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true; developer domain sideall.app resolves and is not throwaway.
  • privacy_policy api Policy fetched, scoped to extension, documents data collection and retention; third_party_sharing=true.
  • geo_diversity crx JS hosts span 4 countries (CA, DE, FR, US); +1.5 network penalty applied.

Permissions Breakdown

  • identity low OAuth token access; low risk without broad scopes declared.
  • sidePanel low UI surface only; no data access granted.
  • storage low Local extension storage; standard for settings persistence.
  • contextMenus low Adds right-click menu items; limited risk surface.
  • declarativeNetRequest medium Can modify network requests via static rules; lower risk than webRequest.
  • declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess high Can modify requests on declared AI-platform hosts; combined with host_permissions raises risk.
  • host_permissions: AI platform domains high Content scripts + declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess on 9 major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.).
