What our analysis found
BibGuru: Free Citation Generator, used by 50,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in January 2022.
Analyst notes
The extension's manifest aligns with its stated purpose as a citation generator. It uses activeTab and scripting permissions to extract citation information only upon user invocation, and host permissions are limited to its own domains ([domain withheld], [domain withheld]). The pre-computed risk report overemphasizes the presence of scripting and early execution, which are standard for this use case. No evidence of unauthorized data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious code injection was found in the provided source files, and the publisher has a low-risk reputation, a featured listing, and a valid privacy policy.
