What our analysis found

Moesif Origin/CORS Changer & API Logger, used by 100,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Our code review reported 1 finding (1 high), led by other. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites.

Key findings

  • High

    Other

    Bundled manifest is version 2, but the live Chrome Web Store listing reports manifest version 3 with different permissions (activeTab, declarativeNetRequest, storage, host_permissions). This indicates the extension may have been updated in the store without matching the submitted bundle, or the bundle is outdated. A version mismatch can hide malicious code changes or indicate a delayed-malicious update.

Analyst notes

The extension is a legitimate developer tool for CORS and API debugging by a trusted publisher (Moesif). The broad permissions are required for its core functionality, and the CSP restricts connections to publisher domains. No malicious code is evident in the provided files; however, the JavaScript bundles are not included, so full review is limited. The manifest version mismatch with the live listing is noted but not indicative of malice.

About this extension

Allow cross-domain requests by override Origin and CORS headers. Log/capture XmlHttpRequest API calls for debugging and analytics.

Read the publisher’s full description

This plugin allows you to send cross-domain requests directly from browser without receiving Cross Origin Errors. You can override the Request Origin header with this plugin and also have Access-Control-Allow-Origin set to *. Update: We removed email list signup and added ability to log and capture API calls. Migrated from Chrome Manifest V2 to V3, due to the new V3 "storage" api, your old settings may need to be reentered. You can override: Request Headers: Origin Response Headers: Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Methods, Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, Access-Control-Expose-Headers Guide on CORS: https://www.moesif.com/blog/technical/cors/Authoritative-Guide-to-CORS-Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing-for-REST-APIs/ API Logging & Capture: You can capture any Ajax, XmlHttpRequest, or fetch API requests made by any page, and send to your Moesif account for analytics and debugging. DISCLAIMER: This tool circumvents CORS security rules baked into every browser and is intended for testing your own website during development. Some production websites like Google Docs or Facebook may complain if they detect something that isn't expected. You can use the whitelist feature to only turn on for some domains. To avoid security issues, it is recommend to turn off after debugging.
