What our analysis found

LINE, used by 4,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in February 2026.

The provided source files show no malicious behavior; the extension is the official LINE messaging client, and its permissions are consistent with its functionality. The high counts of XMLHttpRequest and innerHTML are due to the React app structure, typical for a complex web application. The publisher is a reputable company (LY Corporation) and the extension has over 4 million users with a 3.5 rating, further supporting its legitimacy. Although host_permissions are broad, no evidence of abuse was found in the reviewed code.
