What our analysis found

ActivID CMS extension, used by 1,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a publisher with 2 extensions and was last updated in March 2024.

The extension is a legitimate credential management system by HID Global, using nativeMessaging to communicate with a native smart key client, and activeTab for icon update. All code is focused on relaying messages between a secure webpage and the native app, with no external network requests, no data exfiltration, and permissions matching the disclosed purpose. The ML and third-party risk signals are based on broad permission analysis, but the actual implementation is benign and aligns with the extension's category and CWS listing.

About this extension

ActivID Credential Management System Extension

Read the publisher’s full description

The browser extension enables a credential management system to connect with a device (such as a smart card or USB key) via the browser. It provides the capability to provision credentials such as digital certificates into these devices, and to perform updates to the devices after the initial provisioning. This extension is compatible with ActivID Credential Management System. If you use the WorkforceID Digital Credential Manager, or another application based on HID’s credential management technology, please use this extension instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hid-credential-management/ncphcdigcdkjeagemagmchkgommoifjd.
