Key findings
- High
Other
The bundled manifest includes the 'offscreen' permission, but the published manifest summary from the CWS listing does not include it. This permission allows creating hidden documents with full DOM access. While it is likely used here for legitimate cryptographic operations, the discrepancy is a finding as it could indicate an undeclared capability.
Analyst notes
Extension is a legitimate Hive blockchain wallet with 60k+ users and public source code. All network requests go to Hive RPC nodes; no unauthorized data collection or exfiltration. The only issue is a manifest discrepancy where the bundled manifest includes 'offscreen' permission not shown in the CWS published summary, but this is likely used for legitimate cryptographic offscreen processing. The ML model likely over-fit on minified bundle artifacts (high counts).

About this extension
Secure Hive Wallet Extension.
Read the publisher’s full description
Hive Keychain is an extension for accessing Hive-enabled distributed applications, or "dApps" in your Chromium or Firefox browser! The extension injects the Hive Keychain API into every website's javascript context, so that dApps can read from the blockchain. Hive Keychain also lets the user create and manage their own identities, so when a dApp wants to perform a transaction and write to the blockchain, the user gets a secure interface to review the transaction, before approving or rejecting it. Because it adds functionality to the normal browser context, Hive Keychain requires the permission to read and write to any webpage. You can always "view the source" of Hive Keychain the way you do any Chrome extension, or view the source code on Github: https://github.com/hive-keychain/hive-keychain-extension
