Key findings
- Medium
Other
The package simultaneously claims two unrelated real VPN brands - name say 'Urban Vpn' while the manifest description markets 'Troywell VPN' - yet routes every non-local request through [domain withheld], a host tied to neither brand and backed only by anonymous [domain withheld] privacy policies under a gmail author. Because:26-38 installs this as a scope-'regular' fixed_servers proxy whose only bypass is '<local>', the operator behind that borrowed identity receives the full stream of destination hosts and traffic for the whole browser profile, which is inherent browsing-activity collection against a CWS declaration of 'none declared'. The borrowed branding is what makes the custody deceptive: a user installing what they believe is the established Urban VPN product cannot evaluate, or consent to, the unnamed third party actually carrying their traffic, and the unused multi-skin CSS template plus the mismatch indicate this shell is one of a series of such clones rather than a single mislabelled product.
Analyst notes
The bundle is 6 small, unobfuscated code files (13 files in the signed, all non-image ones present, so nothing is truncated) implementing exactly one behaviour::26-38 sets chrome.proxy to mode 'fixed_servers' pointing at [domain withheld] with bypassList ['<local>'], toggled from. There is no anywhere, no, no content scripts, no host_permissions, no webRequest and no cookie access, and the bundled manifest matches the published manifest exactly - so the 0.90 ML score is not corroborated by code (js_innerhtml:1 is:107 clearing a list with innerHTML=''; the remaining features are plain structural file counts), and chrome-stats' 'permission-clipboard' impact reason is flatly contradicted by a manifest holding only proxy+storage. What keeps this above benign is identity, not an unauthorised sink: the brand themselves 'Urban Vpn' (:2,:6) while:6 advertises 'Troywell VPN' - two real, unrelated commercial VPN brands in one package - the traffic goes to an unbranded.space host matching neither, both privacy policies live on anonymous paste sites ([domain withheld], [domain withheld]) under a gmail author, carries a large unused multi-variant skin template ( rings for a popup that only uses --vcap) plus a theme mismatch (THEME 'urban-acid' vs class 'theme-urban-metro') that reads as mass-produced clone scaffolding, and all browser traffic is placed in the custody of that anonymous operator while CWS data collection is declared 'none'. I deliberately discount the publisher's malicious count and the internal note as a single non-independent signal: both originate from the same 2026-09-13 malext feed import, not from code review.
