No classification available for this permission.

The bundled manifest declares 11 permissions including sensitive capabilities (cookies, scripting, unlimitedStorage) and `<all_urls>` host access, whereas the CWS-published manifest lists only 3 permissions (storage, tabs, webNavigation) and restricts host access to specific BRACU and preconnect.app domains. This means Google's CWS security review evaluated a substantially narrower permission set than what is actually installed on users' browsers. The extension only uses these permissions for BRACU-specific functionality in the code reviewed, but the underdeclared permissions to CWS are a misrepresentation of the extension's true capabilities.

manifest.json (Line 22)
"permissions": [    "alarms",    "cookies",    "sidePanel",    "commands",    "contextMenus",    "notifications",    "scripting",    "unlimitedStorage",    "storage",    "tabs",    "webNavigation"  ],  ...  "host_permissions": [    "<all_urls>"  ]
