What our analysis found

Mercedes AMG F1 Cars Wallpapers New Tab Gameograf, used by 2,000 people, is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 2 findings (2 medium), led by other. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2025.

Key findings

  • Medium

    Other

    Arbitrary HTML is fetched from the publisher's server on every new tab and assigned to innerHTML inside the extension's own new-tab page, with no schema or sanitisation. Default MV3 CSP blocks injected scripts and inline handlers, so this is not remote code execution, but it is a live server-side switch that can place arbitrary iframes, forms, links and images on every new tab — a ready-made channel requiring no Chrome Web Store update or review. The CWS listing declares no data collection and describes no remote-notification feature.

  • Medium

    Other

    The shortcut tile list is pulled from the publisher's server on every new tab and written over the user's locally saved shortcuts (localStorage "shortcuts"), then interpolated into markup through jQuery.append() with no escaping of link.url, link.icon or link.name. The server therefore controls both the destinations the user clicks and raw content on the new-tab page; the listing advertises shortcuts as a user-customisable feature, not a remotely managed one.

Analyst notes

The code does exactly what the listing describes (5 local HD wallpapers in img/, clock, sticky notes, chrome.search.query search box, shortcut tiles) and there is not a single outbound POST, no reading, no obfuscation and no third-party telemetry — every network call is a GET to [domain withheld], the publisher's own domain and the host of its privacy policy. What keeps this off 'benign' is a server-side content switch in the extension's own privileged new tab::41-54 fetches a JSON blob from [domain withheld] and assigns straight into #remote-popup.innerHTML, and: renders a server-supplied shortcut list through an unescaped jQuery template that also overwrites the user's own saved shortcuts (:17). The manifest declares no custom CSP, so default MV3 extension-page CSP blocks injected <script>, inline handlers and javascript: hrefs — this is not code execution — but arbitrary iframes, forms, links and images can be pushed onto every new tab with no store update. The ML score, the 33%-malicious permhash cluster and the publisher's malicious count do NOT corroborate this independently: the internal note shows the label came from a bulk malext feed import, the same import plausibly produced the publisher-level count across Gameograf's template-identical theme extensions, and the canonical permhash is host-blind so a 'search'-only 11k cluster is largely those same templates. chrome-stats (, trusted publisher) and our own risk engine (Low, 0.10) contradict the ML verdict. Dead code and hygiene only: [domain withheld] is unreachable (never called; getVideo and total_videos undefined, host not in host_permissions),:19-25 wipes IndexedDB only in the extension's own origin, and:89 throws a ReferenceError after the live fetch listener is already registered. is referenced at:17 but absent from the bundle; 111667 - 24376 bytes of reviewed JS leaves ~87.3 KB, matching stock jquery-3.7.1. with no surplus, but it is unreviewed, which is part of why confidence is low.
