Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — батя Vpn [browser-hijack] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• proxy permission allows full traffic interception and rerouting to attacker-controlled servers
• Install URL hijack opens cloudmask.space on install — monetization/tracking redirect signal
• Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — does not scope to this extension at all
• Free-webmail developer (gmail), no developer name, no verified publisher

Evidence

• proxy_permission manifest proxy declared — can intercept and redirect all browser traffic to arbitrary servers.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://cloudmask.space — third-party redirect on install.
• external_js_hosts crx JS contacts app.getmyxa.com, cloudmask.space, t.me — 3 distinct external domains.
• generic_privacy_policy store Privacy policy URL is Google's own account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• developer_identity store Free webmail dev aslikap21@gmail.com, no developer name, no verified publisher badge.
• install_perm_anomaly api 19 installs with HIGH-tier proxy permission — small_install_high_perm flagged.
• host_geo_diversity api JS hosts span NL and RU — 2 countries; RU jurisdiction raises data sovereignty concern for VPN.
• rating_signal store Rating 1.0 with 1 review — too sparse to trust but directionally negative.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — батя Vpn [browser-hijack] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.53 -> 8.03 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• proxy high Allows rerouting all browser traffic through arbitrary servers; severe exfiltration risk.
