In code review (v1.0.5)

Our reviewer read version 1.0.5 — 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

Custom Cursor Trails, used by 300,000 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 February 2026.

The extension is a cursor trail customization tool. Its code is entirely focused on rendering visual effects and has no malicious behavior. The background script makes a single POST to the publisher's own domain () with a random UID for notification checks, which is a first‑party call. Broad host permissions and scripting are necessary for the extension's core functionality. No data exfiltration, credential theft, or code injection was found. The ML model score was already low (0.00); the risk‑engine flag is due solely to broad permissions and the presence of a POST request, which are not malicious in this context.
