What our analysis found

Rakuten: Get Cash Back For Shopping, used by 3,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

The Rakuten Cash Back extension is a legitimate shopping assistant from a well-known, featured publisher with a valid privacy policy and disclosed data collection (Web history, User activity, Website content). All observed network requests in the analyzed code are to the publisher's own domain (). The broad permissions (tabs, webRequest, <all_urls>, scripting) are necessary for its core functionality of injecting cashback offers and coupons on any shopping site. The ML model scored it as low risk, and no evidence of third‑party data exfiltration, obfuscation, or malicious intent was found in the reviewed source files.
