| declarativeNetRequest | Permission | | This permission allows the extension to define rules to block, redirect, or modify network requests. Rated Critical because it can control all network traffic, potentially blocking security updates or redirecting to malicious sites. |
| declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess | Permission | | This permission combines network request modification with host permissions. Rated Critical because it can modify requests for specific domains, potentially targeting sensitive websites with precise attack rules. |
| webRequest | Permission | | This permission enables the extension to monitor and analyze all web requests made by the browser. Rated Critical because it can observe all network traffic including sensitive data, track browsing behavior, and gather authentication tokens. |
| debugger | Permission | | This permission grants the extension ability to debug and control other extensions and browser tabs. Rated Critical because it can access and modify other extensions' internal state, inject code, and access sensitive data from any tab. |
| scripting | Permission | | This permission allows injection and execution of JavaScript on any webpage. Rated Critical because it can modify page content, steal sensitive data, and inject malicious code into any site the extension has access to. |
| userScripts | Permission | | This permission allows registration of arbitrary user scripts that run in a page's main world. Rated Critical because the scripts execute with full access to page JavaScript, can be updated at runtime from remote code, and bypass the isolated world that normally contains content scripts. |
| proxy | Permission | | This permission allows the extension to control the browser's proxy settings. Rated Critical because it can route all traffic through potentially malicious proxies, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks and traffic monitoring. |
| <all_urls> | Host | | Broad host access — the extension can read/modify content on every website. |
| Dangerous Permission Combination: scripting,<all_urls>,webRequest | Risk Factor | | Enables sophisticated data theft through script injection and traffic monitoring |
| Dangerous Permission Combination: scripting,<all_urls>,cookies | Risk Factor | | Enables sophisticated data theft through script injection and traffic monitoring |
| Dangerous Permission Combination: cookies,webRequest,identity | Risk Factor | | Allows extensions to intercept web requests, manage cookies, and access identity or certificate-related functionalities, potentially compromising secure access and authentication processes. |
| webNavigation | Permission | | This permission enables monitoring of all browser navigation events and transitions. Rated High because it can track every page visit, navigation method, and browsing pattern, potentially exposing sensitive browsing behavior and user activities. |
| cookies | Permission | | This permission provides full access to read and modify browser cookies. Rated High because it can steal session tokens, modify authentication cookies, and compromise accounts across websites. |
| browsingData | Permission | | This permission clears browsing data, history, and redis. Rated High because it can destroy evidence of malicious activity, clear security logs, and modify browser state. |
| identity | Permission | | This permission accesses Chrome identity service and user information. Rated High because it can obtain OAuth tokens, access connected accounts, and impersonate the user in authenticated service. |
| offscreen | Permission | | This permission creates hidden browser documents with full DOM access. Rated High because it can run background operations invisibly, potentially executing malicious code without user awareness. |
| nativeMessaging | Permission | | This permission enables communication with applications installed on your computer. Rated High because it can exchange data with native programs, potentially exposing system-level information and local files. |
| Dangerous Permission Combination: scripting,cookies,webRequest | Risk Factor | | Enables extensions to interact with scripts, modify files and downloads, and alter browsing history and bookmarks, potentially affecting data integrity and user control. |
| Contextual Risk Factors | Risk Factor | | The following context increases the overall risk:• 10% increase: Early script execution enables pre-emptive content manipulation |
| Broad Host Permissions | Risk Factor | | This extension has broad host permissions allowing it to access many or all websites. |
| Broad Content Script Access | Risk Factor | | This extension can inject scripts into any website. |
| storage | Permission | | This permission allows storing data locally in the browser. Rated Medium because it can persist sensitive user data, track user activities over time, and potentially store malicious payloads. |
| declarativeNetRequestFeedback | Permission | | This permission provides network request modification logs. Rated Medium because it can monitor network request changes and debug traffic modifications. |
| tabs | Permission | | This permission enables tab management and monitoring. Rated Medium because it can track open tabs, access tab metadata, and monitor user browsing patterns. |
| tabGroups | Permission | | This permission manages tab grouping functionality. Rated Medium because it can monitor tab organization, track user workflow patterns, and modify tab relationships. |
| activeTab | Permission | | This permission grants temporary access to the current tab. Rated Medium because it can access current page content when invoked, though limited to user-initiated actions. |
| file:///* | Host | | Host permission — access limited to this URL pattern. |
| Early Content Script Execution | Risk Factor | | This extension runs content scripts at document_start. |
| alarms | Permission | | This permission schedules periodic tasks. Rated Low because it can only trigger events at specified times without access to sensitive data. |
| sidePanel | Permission | | This permission adds custom panels to the browser interface. Rated Low because it only affects browser UI elements and cannot access page content. |
| favicon | Permission | | This permission accesses website favicon images. Rated Low because it only retrieves publicly visible website icons. |
