The bundled manifest lacks the <all_urls> host_permission and several permissions (tabs, tts, downloads, webRequest) that appear in the published CWS manifest summary. This discrepancy may indicate that the published version has broader access than the bundle being reviewed, which could be a delayed-malicious update or a mismatch between versions.
Analyst notes
The bundled manifest lacks <all_urls>, tabs, tts, downloads, and webRequest present in the published CWS manifest, which is a significant mismatch (possible delayed-malicious update). The extension's publisher reputation is concerning ( other extension flagged malicious) and a permhash cluster showing 56% malware rate. Key parts of the source (,) were not provided for analysis, preventing a full review. The visible code loads translation UIs, sends text to known translation APIs, and includes VIP upsells—these are consistent with a legitimate translation extension, but the missing code could hide malicious behavior.
