Host
Critical
Broad host access โ€” the extension can read/modify content on every website.
tabCapture
Permission
High
This permission captures content and audio from browser tabs. Rated High because it can record sensitive web content, capture form input, and monitor user interactions.
Broad Host Permissions
Risk Factor
High
This extension has broad host permissions allowing it to access many or all websites.
Broad Content Script Access
Risk Factor
High
This extension can inject scripts into any website.
tabs
Permission
Medium
This permission enables tab management and monitoring. Rated Medium because it can track open tabs, access tab metadata, and monitor user browsing patterns.
storage
Permission
Medium
This permission allows storing data locally in the browser. Rated Medium because it can persist sensitive user data, track user activities over time, and potentially store malicious payloads.
activeTab
Permission
Medium
This permission grants temporary access to the current tab. Rated Medium because it can access current page content when invoked, though limited to user-initiated actions.
system.display
Permission
Low
This permission reads display configuration. Rated Low because it only accesses screen properties without content access.

On installation, the extension silently opens a new browser tab pointing to 'https://extravolume.net/api/install', sending an HTTP request to the developer's remote server. This request automatically exposes the user's IP address, browser fingerprint (User-Agent, Accept-Language, etc.), and can be used to build a persistent install database for tracking. While opening an install page is common, combining it with `<all_urls>` host permissions and `tabCapture` creates a privacy concern because install telemetry is sent without user consent or disclosure.

scripts/bg/bg.js (Line 1)
Background.install = function() {  chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener((function(e) {    "install" == e.reason ? chrome.tabs.create({      url: "https://extravolume.net/api/install"    }) : e.reason  }))}, chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL("https://extravolume.net/uninstall/");

When the volume booster is activated, the extension stores the full URL of the active tab (`e.url`) into `chrome.storage.local`. A volume booster has no functional need for the tab's URL โ€” only the tab ID is required for audio capture via `tabCapture`. Persisting the browsing URL in extension storage constitutes unauthorized data collection of browsing history, and this data is available to all extension scripts.

scripts/libs/modules.js (Line 1)
Power.visualOn = async function(e) {  await Methods.save({    id: e.id  }), await Methods.save({    url: e.url  }), await Methods.save({    power: !0  }), $("#power").attr("class", "on"), Methods.setIcon("on"), Popup.showModules(), Popup.advancedInit(), Mono.init(), Phased.init(), Popup.setTitle(await Methods.load("id")), Tabs.tabInit()}

The extension registers an uninstall tracking URL with the Chrome runtime. When the extension is removed, Chrome automatically navigates to this URL, allowing the developer's server to log the uninstall event along with associated identifying data (IP address, User-Agent). This is an undisclosed tracking mechanism that fires without user interaction or consent at uninstall time.

scripts/bg/bg.js (Line 1)
chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL("https://extravolume.net/uninstall/");
