What our analysis found

ISAM ESSO, used by 20,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can observe network requests. It comes from a publisher with 2 extensions and was last updated in December 2023.

Analyst notes

All code paths implement IBM ISAM ESSO's declared SSO function: connects to a locally-installed native broker (chrome.runtime.connectNative('chrome.broker')), intercepts HTTP auth challenges via webRequest.onAuthRequired, and either injects credentials received from that local broker or shows a first-party capture popup whose credentials are posted back to the native broker via port.postMessage. Zero network requests are made to any remote server; every data flow terminates at the local native host. The large is dominated by a JISON-generated XPath parser for form-element identification, not malicious logic. The ML signals (high js_innerhtml, js_exclamation) are fully explained by the JISON parser tables and the XPath border-highlighting UI code. The permhash cluster of 2 with 1 flagged is not meaningful at this size and includes the version under review per the note.
