What our analysis found
MyBib: Free Citation Generator, used by 2,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.
The extension's permissions (scripting, clipboardWrite, broad host access) are necessary for its core citation-generation functionality. All network communication goes to the publisher's own domains (), and the 'Website content' data collection is disclosed in the CWS listing. The code shows no signs of data exfiltration, code injection into arbitrary pages without user action, or other malicious behavior. The ML model's risk score is 0.00, and the security analysis over-fits on the broad permissions.
