Key findings
- Medium
Unauthorized Data Collection
The extension defines URLs that appear to be used for tracking events or checking for updates, but the CWS listing declares 'none' for data collection. The actual network request logic is in the provided-but-unreviewed update.. This constitutes potential unauthorized data collection as the user is not informed.
Analyst notes
The extension defines server, install, and uninstall URLs pointing to [domain withheld] in, and loads a minified background script (update.) likely responsible for sending data, yet the Chrome Web Store listing declares no data collection. The core OBJ viewer functionality appears benign, but the undisclosed communication and inability to fully review the minified script raises suspicion. The publisher has a 11% malicious rate on other extensions, which corroborates concern, but no concrete evidence of data exfiltration was found in the reviewed files.
