What our analysis found
Microsoft Purview Extension, used by 10,000,000 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 trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2026.
The extension is a legitimate enterprise Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tool from Microsoft Corporation. All data flows (URLs, file metadata, download information) are sent exclusively via native messaging to a local Microsoft-owned native host (first-party) for policy enforcement. No network requests to third-party servers, no obfuscation, no remote code loading. The broad permissions (webRequest, tabs, downloads, <all_urls>) are necessary for its DLP functionality. The ML model likely overfitted on permission combinations; the risk-engine flags reflect the permissions' inherent risk, not malicious code.

Read the publisherโs full description
Microsoft Purview is a comprehensive set of solutions that help you govern, protect, and manage your entire data estate. As part of the Microsoft Purview launch, Microsoft Compliance Extension will now be called Microsoft Purview extension. The Microsoft Purview extension enables enterprise organizations to enforce Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies on sensitive files that are accessed through the Chrome browser. With this extension, organizations can configure endpoint DLP policies to protect sensitive information from risky or unauthorized sharing, transfer or use. The DLP policies can be configured in flexible modes, including โข Audit mode: Records policy violation events without impacting end user activity. โข Block with Override mode: Records and blocks the activity but allows the user to override when they have a legitimate business need. โข Block mode: Records and blocks the activity without the ability to override. Policies supported by the extension address use cases such as the upload of sensitive files to restricted service domains, printing a sensitive document, saving sensitive files to a network share or removeable storage device, and copying sensitive content to the clipboard. Signals gathered by DLP for endpoints via the extension may also be consumed by our Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management solution.
