In code review (v4.0.9)

Our reviewer read version 4.0.9 โ€” the most recent version we have reviewed โ€” and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Meta Ads Data Advisor, used by 3,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

The extension is a Meta Pixel debugging tool that validates pixel implementations, includes automation overlays for testing, and uses broad permissions consistent with its developer-tool category. No code in the provided files exfiltrates data to third parties; all communications are routed through the background script (not provided) and likely to Facebook-owned domains as per externally_connectable. The ML model over-weighted broad permissions and automation-related UI patterns typical of a legitimate Meta development tool.
