What our analysis found

Taskade - AI Agents, Chat Bots, & Task Automation, used by 60,000 people, is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 2 findings (1 high, 1 medium), led by other. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages.

Key findings

  • High

    Other

    The bundled manifest (version 2) requests webRequest, webRequestBlocking, and injects content scripts into all URLs. The published CWS listing shows manifest version 3 with only activeTab, contextMenus, storage, tabs, scripting, and host_permissions limited to [domain withheld]. This mismatch indicates the extension may have been submitted with a different, less intrusive manifest to the store, while the distributed package retains dangerous permissions.

  • Medium

    Tracking

    The extension uses webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders with '<all_urls>' filter to modify the User-Agent header on every HTTP request, injecting the extension version and ID. This allows tracking of the user's browsing activity across all websites and is not expected behavior for a extension. No clear user-facing disclosure or functional necessity justifies this broad interception.

Analyst notes

The extension's core functionality (task management popup, new tab page) aligns with its description, but the bundled manifest (MV2) includes and all_urls content script, which differ significantly from the published CWS listing (MV3, no webRequest). The code in adds a listener to modify the User-Agent header on all HTTP requests, injecting an extension identifier for tracking purposes, a behavior unexpected for a productivity extension and not clearly disclosed. No explicit data exfiltration or credential theft was found. Publisher reputation is good, and the live version may have addressed these issues, but the provided version is suspicious due to the permissions mismatch and intrusive network monitoring.
