What our analysis found
CRX Extractor/Downloader, used by 100,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Our code review reported 1 finding (1 high), led by other. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in March 2025.
Key findings
- High
Other
The bundled manifest declares manifest_version 2 and requests 'tabs' permission, while the published Chrome Web Store listing shows manifest_version 3 and 'activeTab' permission. This discrepancy suggests the extension may have been modified after review or the listing is inaccurate, which is a security concern.
Analyst notes
The extension performs its stated function of downloading files from Google's official servers. All network requests are limited to Google's CRX endpoints and the publisher's own website for pages. No data exfiltration, tracking, or unauthorized code execution was found. The manifest discrepancy (MV2 vs MV3, tabs vs activeTab) is noted but does not indicate malicious behavior in the provided code.
