In code review (v4.5.1)

Our reviewer read version 4.5.1 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Cursor Trails - Custom Cursor Trails, used by 100,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

The extension strictly implements its described cursor trails functionality. All network requests go to the publisher's own domain () for notification features, with no sensitive data. The broad permissions are necessary for injecting visual effects on all pages. No malicious code, obfuscation, or data exfiltration was found. The ML model likely overfit on the large code size (due to many inline SVG patterns), 'unsafe-eval' CSP (needed for the bundled runtime), and broad permissions.
