What our analysis found

Grid Ruler, 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. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages.

Key findings

  • High

    Other

    The bundled indicates Manifest Version 2 with only the 'activeTab' permission, while the published CWS listing shows Manifest Version 3 and includes the 'scripting' permission. This mismatch could be a sign of a delayed-malicious update or a version discrepancy between the reviewed bundle and the live extension. The version number (0.2.1) is the same in both, suggesting a potential inconsistency in the store listing or an unreviewed update.

Analyst notes

The extension is a straightforward grid ruler tool that injects a UI overlay on the active tab when the user clicks its browser action. It uses only the 'activeTab' permission, which is appropriate for its functionality. No network requests, remote code loading, data collection, or other suspicious behavior was found in the source code. The ML risk score (0.00) and third-party risk score both indicate low risk. The manual review confirms that the code is benign. The only discrepancy is a mismatch between the bundled manifest (Manifest V2, only 'activeTab') and the published CWS listing (Manifest V3 with 'scripting' permission). This may be due to a store update not reflected in the provided ZIP, but the code we analyzed does not exhibit any malicious intent.
