What our analysis found

QR Code, used by 70,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in August 2023.

Analyst notes

The extension generates and scans QR codes entirely locally with no network communication beyond user-initiated image loading. No data exfiltration, tracking, or remote code execution was found. The bundled manifest (v2, with optional_permissions) does not match the published manifest (v3, with scripting and storage), which introduces a minor integrity concern but is not confirmed as malicious given the publisher's good reputation and the lack of any malicious code in the bundle.
