What our analysis found
Easy Video Downloader, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Our code review reported 1 finding (1 high), led by other. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests.
Key findings
- High
Other
The bundled declares manifest_version 2, includes webRequestBlocking permission, and uses permissions array for host access. The published manifest summary from the Chrome Web Store shows manifest_version 3, host_permissions separate, includes 'scripting' permission, and omits webRequestBlocking. This discrepancy indicates that the live extension may be a different code version than the one reviewed, potentially with different capabilities.
Analyst notes
The extension's permissions and behaviors are consistent with its stated purpose of downloading media from web pages. All network interception () is used to detect media and optionally block page loads when 'interruption' mode is enabled, a disclosed feature. Data is stored locally; no user data is exfiltrated to third parties. External URLs ([domain withheld]) are only opened on explicit user click. The only outbound requests are to GitHub for native client installation, which is necessary for the optional external download managers. The code is clean and readable with no obfuscation. The ML model likely flagged broad permissions and webRequest usage, which are essential for a video downloader. The publisher has a low-risk reputation. The only concerning finding is a manifest mismatch between the bundled MV2 manifest and the live CWS MV3 manifest, but that does not indicate malware.
