What our analysis found
Character Input showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in November 2023.
Analyst notes
The extension is a straightforward character-input utility that injects a single content script into all pages. The script listens for the Insert key (keyCode 45) and shows a browser-native prompt() dialog for the user to type a character code; it then resolves the code against a local Unicode lookup table and inserts the resulting character into the focused input field using standard DOM APIs. There is no network activity, no data exfiltration, no obfuscation, and no code execution. The ML score of 0.82 is entirely explained by the `<all_urls>` content-script match (the only 'broad permission') and the presence of String.fromCharCode calls (counted as `js_fromcharcode`), both of which are required for the extension's legitimate purpose of inserting diacritics into any text field the user is working in.

Read the publisher’s full description
Allows entering of symbols and diacritics into the Alma Metadata Editor (MDE) using Unicode, Alt-key codes, or HTML entity codes. It is designed to make the input of diacritics and symbols easy without needing to use a separate application or copy and paste from a website. It supports 4-digit Unicode hex codes, almost all HTML entity references, as well as Alt-key codes; it also allows quick entry of the copyright symbol. Press Insert key, then enter a character code: - aXXX for an Alt Code (e.g. a130 for é) , - XXXX for a Unicode code (e.g. 00e9 for é) - Any valid HTML entity (e.g. eacute for é) except IJ - c for a copyright symbol ©. Note that a0169, 00a9, and copy also work. Note that HTML entity references do not need the & and ; to be entered. Where possible some fuller and alternative names for accents are permissable, e.g. ehacek and ecircumflex will work although the correct codes are ecaron and ecirc. Codes can be all lower case although capital letters need to be entered properly, e.g. Eacute for É. Designed for Ex Libris Alma. Entering uXXXX for Unicode is deprecated from version 4.
