Item
Type
Severity
Description
scripting
Permission
Critical
This permission allows injection and execution of JavaScript on any webpage. Rated Critical because it can modify page content, steal sensitive data, and inject malicious code into any site the extension has access to.
userScripts
Permission
Critical
This permission allows registration of arbitrary user scripts that run in a page's main world. Rated Critical because the scripts execute with full access to page JavaScript, can be updated at runtime from remote code, and bypass the isolated world that normally contains content scripts.
<all_urls>
Host
Critical
Broad host access — the extension can read/modify content on every website.
webNavigation
Permission
High
This permission enables monitoring of all browser navigation events and transitions. Rated High because it can track every page visit, navigation method, and browsing pattern, potentially exposing sensitive browsing behavior and user activities.
Contextual Risk Factors
Risk Factor
High
The following context increases the overall risk: • 10% increase: Early script execution enables pre-emptive content manipulation • 10% increase: About:blank access enables potential sandbox escape vectors

Broad Content Script Access
Risk Factor
High

activeTab
Permission
Medium
This permission grants temporary access to the current tab. Rated Medium because it can access current page content when invoked, though limited to user-initiated actions.
storage
Permission
Medium
This permission allows storing data locally in the browser. Rated Medium because it can persist sensitive user data, track user activities over time, and potentially store malicious payloads.
tabs
Permission
Medium
This permission enables tab management and monitoring. Rated Medium because it can track open tabs, access tab metadata, and monitor user browsing patterns.
unlimitedStorage
Permission
Medium
This permission removes storage quota restrictions. Rated Medium because it can store large amounts of user data without limits, potentially impacting browser performance and storing extensive tracking data.
Early Content Script Execution
Risk Factor
Medium
This extension runs content scripts at document_start.
About:blank Access
Risk Factor
Medium
This extension can run content scripts in about:blank pages.
contextMenus
Permission
Low
This permission adds items to browser context menus. Rated Medium because it only modifies right-click menus without access to page content.
sidePanel
Permission
Low
This permission adds custom panels to the browser interface. Rated Low because it only affects browser UI elements and cannot access page content.
