Video editor OpenShot online, used by 50,000 people, is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 2 findings (1 high, 1 medium), led by other. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in August 2024.
Key findings
- High
Other
The bundled does not include 'storage' and 'tabs' permissions, but the Chrome Web Store listing metadata shows them. This mismatch could indicate an outdated bundle, an undeclared permission usage, or a listing error.
- Medium
Unauthorized Data Collection
The extension sends a randomly generated username (a persistent user identifier) to '[domain withheld]' over an insecure HTTP connection. This domain is not the publisher's website ([domain withheld]) and the data collection is not disclosed in the CWS privacy declarations (which only mention 'Website content'). This constitutes unauthorized data collection and potential tracking.
Analyst notes
The extension sends a unique user identifier to a third-party domain ([domain withheld]) over insecure HTTP without disclosed data collection. Additionally, the bundled manifest lacks the permissions ('storage', 'tabs') declared in the Chrome Web Store listing, indicating a potential mismatch or undeclared capability.

In order to handle the video compositions this extension includes the following functionality over the files used by this extension: - Personal files and directories in the Cloud. - Operations with files and folders: copy, move, upload, create folder/file, etc - Search for files. This is not a video player, it is a video editor, so do not expect great quality when playing video or audio. Download locally the video composed by OpenShot to play it with the right quality. This OpenShot Video Editor extension uses the platform http://www.offidocs.com. It is available for free online users but it also allows the integration with premium users and on-premises OffiDocs deployments where the OffiDocs OpenShot video editor is installed. IMPORTANT: This extension scans the URLs browsed in order to detect video files. The video files detected appear in a file list located in the extension popup that are retrieved from our servers. The scanning is performed from our servers so your URL are reported to our system. No personal data is collected. This scan can be disabled with a checkbox that appears in the extension popup. If you disable this scanning, this functionality is not available so then the extension functionality is very limited.
