What our analysis found

Monica - Your AI Copilot powered by ChatGPT, DeepSeek, used by 721,506 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It was last updated in December 2025.

Monica is a well-established AI assistant extension (825K users, 4.6 rating) and the source code available for review is consistent with its stated purpose. The patches XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open solely to capture YouTube timedtext subtitle URLs and relay them via window.postMessage to the content script — a standard, benign pattern for YouTube summarization. The polls PDF embeds for selected text, also consistent with AI-assisted PDF reading. The bundled manifest exactly matches the published CWS manifest (permissions: storage, scripting, contextMenus; host_permissions: <all_urls>), with no mismatch. The externally_connectable domains are all first-party. Confidence is medium rather than high because the main JS bundles (,, — responsible for the ML model's 29 MB JS size and high pattern counts) were not present in the extracted bundle and could not be read directly; however all available signals (third-party likelihood score, low publisher risk, clean injected scripts, manifest alignment) point to a false positive.
