2	Network Interception	critical	background.js (line 5386)	The extension intercepts every stage of every web request across all URLs (main_frame and all resource types) including reading request headers and response headers. Captured data — URLs, referrers (stored at lines 28…	1.3.7.5165
3	Obfuscation	critical	background.js (line 1736)	Data sent to and received from the C2 server is XOR-obfuscated using a configurable byte key (default 255, controlled by the server via 'isEnc' flag set to true at line 1181). The server can toggle this obfuscation on…	1.3.7.5165
4	Tracking	critical	background.js (line 5339)	The extension explicitly captures the user's search keyword and full search URL and sends them to the C2 server under the event name 'client_side_search'. This is covert tracking of user search queries — the stated pu…	1.3.7.5165

7	Phishing	high	background.js (line 5501)	The extension implements a remote-controlled tab redirect system (function Z/J, lines 2449-2516): the C2 server supplies redirect URL patterns and target URLs; when a user navigates to a matching URL, their tab is sil…	1.3.7.5165
8	Unauthorized Data Collection	high	background.js (line 8712)	The extension silently reports every other extension installed or uninstalled from the user's browser (name, ID, version, enabled state) to the C2 server. This gives the attacker a complete inventory of the victim's b…	1.3.7.5165

Madison Francis·19 Sept 2024

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn
