What our analysis found
Trustnet showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in April 2025.
Analyst notes
The extension is an MIT CSAIL academic research tool for article accuracy assessment. All network traffic goes to `developer.trustnet.csail.mit.edu` (the publisher's own backend, per the MIT CSAIL Trustnet project) and the data sent — page URLs and assessment metadata — is explicitly disclosed under the CWS categories 'User activity' and 'Website content'. The ML score of 0.36 is driven entirely by bundle characteristics (large total_js_size_bytes, high innerHTML from Vue rendering, standard regenerator-runtime eval), not by malicious behavior. Third-party risk score assigns Likelihood:, corroborating the benign assessment; the only risk factor is the broad content-script injection, which is functionally required for an article-assessment overlay tool.
