Key findings

  • medium· other —The bundled manifest version is 2, while the published manifest summary from the Chrome Web Store shows manifest_version 3 and includes web_accessible_resources that are absent in the bundled manifest. This discrepancy may indicate a delayed update or a different build, but does not prove malicious intent.

The extension is a legitimate cookie editor whose permissions (cookies, <all_urls>, storage) are necessary for its stated functionality. The source code contains no data exfiltration, code injection, or credential theft. Analytics pings to are minimal event codes, consistent with the disclosed 'User activity' data collection. The only anomaly is a manifest version mismatch between the bundled MV2 and the published MV3 listing, but this does not indicate malice.
