What our analysis found

Netskope Chrome Extension, used by 400,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a publisher with 3 extensions and was last updated in March 2026.

Analyst notes

This is a legitimate enterprise proxy enforcement extension from Netskope, a reputable security vendor. All permissions are necessary for its core functions: proxy management, header injection for authentication, and cookie monitoring. Network requests target Netskope’s own infrastructure ([domain withheld]), consistent with the published privacy policy. The unused script is dead code and poses no active threat. ML model and risk-engine flags are due to broad permissions that are inherent to a proxy extension, not malicious behavior.
