What our analysis found

Music Equalizer & Bass Booster – Sound Enhancer for Chrome, used by 600,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Our code review reported 1 finding (1 low), led by other. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites.

Key findings

  • Low

    Other

    The bundled manifest permissions differ from the published CWS summary: the bundled version lacks `tabs` and `offscreen`, but includes `system.display`, while the published listing shows `tabs`, `offscreen` without `system.display`. The code uses both `tabs` and `system.display` APIs, so the discrepancy may indicate an outdated or mis-synced package. This mismatch does not necessarily indicate malice but is a maintenance concern.

Analyst notes

The extension is a legitimate audio enhancer; all functionality is local using Web Audio API and tabCapture. No network communication beyond a user-initiated optional impulse file load. The empty content script is harmless, and the permission usage matches the stated purpose. Third-party risk score is low likelihood, and publisher is trusted with a featured, high-rated extension. The ML model's high risk is due to benign patterns like jQuery minification and XMLHttpRequest for audio impulse loading.
