Key findings

  • High

    Unauthorized Data Collection

    JW Player analytics module sends tracking pings via Image requests. Parameters include page URL (pu), media file URL (mu), page title (pt), and user interactions. This constitutes unauthorized data collection as the extension's CWS listing declares 'none declared' for data collection, and the data is sent to a third-party service (JW Player).

Analyst notes

Extension redirects media URLs to a local player using declarativeNetRequest, which aligns with its stated purpose. The core behavior is benign. However, the embedded JW Player library () sends playback analytics to a third-party (JW Player), collecting page URLs, media file URLs, and user interactions, which is not disclosed in the CWS privacy collection tab. This is likely an oversight rather than malice; the extension is featured, has 300k users, and shows no other malicious patterns.
