What our analysis found
SmartLens AI - Alternative of Google Lens For PC, used by 100,000 people, is rated malicious by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 2 findings (2 high), led by other. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages.
Key findings
- High
Other
The bundled manifest declares permissions (storage, clipboardWrite, scripting) and host_permissions ([domain withheld], [domain withheld]) not present in the published CWS manifest summary, which only lists contextMenus, activeTab, downloads, and host_permissions for [domain withheld] and [domain withheld]. This undisclosed expansion of privileges and switch to an unknown API endpoint constitutes a significant privacy and security risk.
- High
Unauthorized Data Collection
The extension sends user-uploaded images and images selected via context menu to an undisclosed third-party API endpoint ([domain withheld]) using hardcoded API keys. This image data collection is not declared in the CWS privacy disclosures (listed as 'none declared'), violating user privacy and data disclosure policies. The data may include sensitive visual information from any webpage.
Analyst notes
The extension covertly exfiltrates images to an undisclosed third-party API (api.navy) without CWS disclosure, and the bundled manifest differs significantly from the published one (extra permissions, changed API endpoint), indicating a bait-and-switch pattern. Combined with a history of removal for policy violation, this confirms malicious intent. ML risk score of 0.00 is a false negative.
