What our analysis found
Print, used by 10,000 people, is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 3 findings (1 high, 2 medium), led by other. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages.
Key findings
- High
Other
The bundled manifest declares MV2 with only `activeTab`, while the live CWS listing shows MV3 with both `activeTab` and `scripting`. The `scripting` permission allows programmatic injection of arbitrary content scripts into any active tab, which is significantly more powerful than what the bundle declares. This mismatch means the deployed version on users' browsers may have capabilities the analyzed ZIP does not reflect.
- Medium
Tracking
On every fresh install the background script opens a tab to `[domain withheld] (configured in). This sends an install signal to a third-party domain entirely unrelated to the extension's printing function, with the extension ID resolvable from the request context. No data collection is disclosed in the CWS listing; this constitutes undisclosed install tracking to a third-party domain.
- Medium
Unauthorized Data Collection
The notify/ directory contains a fully implemented push-notification and activity-tracking framework that generates a persistent UUID per user, stores it in localStorage, and POSTs events to `[domain withheld]. The server URL is hardcoded in with `autoSub: true` and a 5-second polling interval. While this code is not referenced in the analyzed manifest's background scripts (making it dormant for this version), it is packaged and ready to be activated in a future update, and it reveals the publisher's shared cross-extension tracking infrastructure for an undisclosed third-party domain.
Analyst notes
The bundled manifest (MV2, only activeTab) contradicts the live CWS listing (MV3 + scripting permission), a concrete mismatch that suggests the deployed version carries broader injection capabilities than analyzed. The active background scripts open an undisclosed install-tracking tab to [domain withheld] on first run, and the bundle ships a fully-wired push-notification framework in notify/ that generates persistent user UUIDs and POSTs activity events to [domain withheld]—dormant in this version but revealing a cross-extension tracking toolkit. Publisher reputation (53% of other extensions flagged malicious) strongly corroborates concern; the third-party risk score ( impact) offers a mild contradiction but does not account for the tracking infrastructure or manifest discrepancy.
