Key findings
- Medium
Other
Bundled has manifest_version set to 2, but the published Chrome Web Store listing shows manifest_version 3. This mismatch could indicate a delayed update, listing error, or a versioning discrepancy that might confuse security reviewers.
Analyst notes
Extension performs local QR scanning using the well-known QrScanner library, captures visible tab screenshots, and accesses the camera—all within the scope of its stated purpose. No network requests outside URLs pointing to the publisher’s own domain, and no data collection is implemented. The only anomaly is a manifest version mismatch (bundled MV2 vs. published MV3), which is likely a CWS listing error or delayed update.
