What our analysis found
Threads Video Downloeader is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 2 findings (2 medium), led by other. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in July 2023.
Key findings
- Medium
Other
The active version of the popup HTML names the extension 'URL Redirector', not 'Threads Downloader'. The original Threads-downloader markup is entirely commented out and replaced by this version, suggesting the extension was repurposed after initial listing. The label accurately reflects the generic redirect behaviour — sending any active tab URL to a third-party service — which is broader than what the CWS listing describes.
- Medium
Unauthorized Data Collection
The 'Download this Current Post' button transmits the active tab's full URL to the third-party domain `[domain withheld]` with no validation that the URL is from [domain withheld]. This means any page the user is visiting — not just Threads posts — can be relayed to this external service. The publisher's CWS-disclosed data collection is 'none declared', and `[domain withheld]` is not the publisher's declared domain ([domain withheld]), making this undisclosed transmission of browsing URLs to a third party.
Analyst notes
The active popup HTML title reads 'URL Redirector' (:80) rather than 'Threads Downloader', a telling label change from the commented-out original version that describes the extension's actual behaviour more accurately than its CWS listing. The 'Submit This Page' button silently sends any active tab URL to the third-party domain `[domain withheld]` — a domain unrelated to the publisher's declared sites ([domain withheld]) — with no CWS-disclosed data collection. The 86% malware rate in the permhash cluster strongly corroborates suspicion, and contextual red flags (Roblox-branded privacy policy, ownership transfer, publisher domain mismatch) suggest repurposing; the ML score (0.31) and publisher low-risk rating are the only countering signals.
