Key findings
- High
Other
The published manifest on Chrome Web Store lists different host_permissions and web_accessible_resources compared to the bundled manifest, indicating a discrepancy between the reviewed version and the live listing. This could suggest a later update with more permissive access or unapproved changes.
Analyst notes
The extension appears to be a legitimate meeting transcription tool from a reputable publisher ([domain withheld]). Provided source files are benign and serve core audio capture functionality. However, critical logic files (background script, content script) are missing from the provided bundle, limiting full analysis. The manifest mismatch with the CWS listing raises some suspicion, but overall the extension's permissions and disclosed data collection align with its purpose. ML model score is low (0.01).
