Caution required

Suspicious in code review (v7.4.3.55)

Our reviewer found behaviour consistent with malware in version 7.4.3.55, but not enough to confirm it. Treat this extension as untrusted until it has been re-reviewed.

What our analysis found

CRM DE ELITE : CRM no whatsapp, Automações e Ferramentas pa… is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 2 findings (2 high), led by remote code loading. It comes from a publisher with 20 extensions and was last updated in October 2026.

Key findings

  • High

    Remote Code Loading

    Every 10 minutes the background fetches `[domain withheld] and forwards the entire parsed response — including a `remote_code` URL field — to the WhatsApp content script via the `Update_DomSelector` message. The `v()` function, invoked when the content script sends an `inject-code` message, extracts that `remote_code` URL from the same config, indicating the content script (whose main bundle file is missing from this extraction) uses it to dynamically load and execute additional JavaScript. This gives the publisher's server the ability to update extension behaviour — including injecting new code — at any time without a CWS update, bypassing Google's review process.

  • High

    Credential Theft

    On install, function `y()` (line 122) queries every open Chrome Web Store tab and extracts a `bearer_token` query parameter from the tab's URL. Function `k()` then silently closes all open WhatsApp tabs and all Chrome Web Store tabs (`l()` calls at line 108) before re-opening WhatsApp with the harvested token embedded in the URL (`[domain withheld]). Closing the source tab after extracting the token is an unusual cover-the-tracks pattern; the extension already has a direct `onMessageExternal` channel from `[domain withheld]` for auth token delivery, making this tab-scraping flow redundant for legitimate purposes and consistent with covert token interception.

Analyst notes

The contains a remote-code-loading mechanism that fetches `[domain withheld] every 10 minutes and forwards the full response (which includes a `remote_code` URL field) to the WhatsApp content script via the `Update_DomSelector` message — giving the publisher's server dynamic behavioural control post-installation. Additionally, on install the extension scans all open Chrome Web Store tabs for a `bearer_token` URL parameter, silently closes both those tabs and all open WhatsApp tabs, then re-opens WhatsApp with the extracted token appended to the URL; this tab-scraping and tab-closure pattern is not the expected flow for `externally_connectable` auth (which already works via `onMessageExternal`). The internal IoC note explicitly tags this extension as 'WaSteal' malware per [domain withheld], a third-party signal that corroborates the suspicious code patterns; the permhash cluster (93% malicious, 16 k peers) further raises suspicion. The permission set and third-party risk score are consistent with a legitimate WhatsApp CRM, but taken together the IoC, the remote-config relay, and the unorthodox tab-scraping auth flow point to likely-malicious intent rather than a false positive.
