What our analysis found

HID Credential Management Extension, used by 1,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a publisher with 2 extensions and was last updated in June 2026.

The extension is a legitimate credential management bridge from HID Global. It only forwards messages between specific HTTPS pages and a native host via native messaging. No data exfiltration, tracking, or obfuscation detected. Permissions (nativeMessaging, activeTab, background) are minimal and aligned with its documented purpose. The ML model correctly yielded a low risk score (0.00), while the risk-engine's high score is an artifact of necessary but harmless permissions.

About this extension

Browser extension for HID credential management solution.

Read the publisher’s full description

The browser extension enables a credential management system to connect with a device (such as a smart card or USB key) via the browser. It provides the capability to provision credentials such as digital certificates into these devices, and to perform updates to the devices after the initial provisioning. This extension is compatible with WorkforceID Digital Credential Manager and with other applications based on HID’s credential management solution. If you use the ActivID Credential Management System, please use this extension instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/activid-cms-extension/ddfoinleihmgpkhfmemkncgffilfahnm.
