What our analysis found

Cashback Ninja, used by 50,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can observe network requests. It was last updated in August 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a typical tool. It fetches a shop list from its own server (cashbackninja.su), sets declarativeNetRequest rules to redirect users to affiliate URLs, tracks activations via, and shows notifications. All permissions (webRequest, declarativeNetRequest, cookies, tabs, host_permissions) are necessary for this functionality. No user data is sent to third parties; the only outbound request is to the publisher's own domain for configuration. The code is readable with no obfuscation or suspicious data exfiltration. Positive user reviews and a clean publisher reputation further corroborate the benign nature. The ML model and risk engine over-reacted to the broad permissions which are inherent to cashback extensions.
