Recommendation:
🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Image2Text OCR [data-theft] (+2.0, capped).
- Free-webmail Gmail dev with no verified business identity and only 5 installs.
- uninstall_url_hijack flag set — extension registers a 3rd-party uninstall URL.
- scripting + <all_urls> allows arbitrary JS injection on every site the user visits.
- new Function() constructor in minified worker lib is a dynamic code execution risk.
Evidence
- uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL() registered (target null in listing); +3.0 Webstore per rubric.
- free_webmail_dev store Developer email eeriegoesd@gmail.com with no verified business; Reputation floor applies.
- broad_host_access manifest <all_urls> host permission paired with scripting; high capability for an OCR tool.
- function_constructor crx new Function() in lib/worker.min.js; dynamic code execution in minified worker context.
- small_install_high_perm api Only 5 installs but has HIGH-tier host permission; tail attack surface anomaly.
- privacy_third_party_sharing api Privacy policy flags third_party_sharing=true with no retention info; +1.0 privacy.
- js_external_hosts crx External hosts: cdn.jsdelivr.net, extensionpay.com, github.com, stackoverflow.com, developer.mozilla.org.
- extensionpay_monetization crx ExtensionPay.com in CSP connect-src and content_scripts; paywall monetization layer present.
- threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Image2Text OCR [data-theft]; score 3.15 -> 5.15 (+2.0 cap 2.5).
Permissions Breakdown
- activeTab low Scoped to user-initiated tab interaction; low blast radius.
- downloads medium Can write files to disk; potential exfil vector if combined with other signals.
- storage low Local key-value store; standard for settings persistence.
- scripting medium Can inject scripts into tabs; elevated risk when paired with <all_urls>.
- <all_urls> high Broad host access enables script injection and data access on every site.
