Other
The bundled manifest does not include the 'downloads' permission, while the published listing on the Chrome Web Store includes it. Additionally, the bundled manifest restricts web_accessible_resources to specific VK domains, but the published summary shows '<all_urls>'. This mismatch between the reviewed source and the live extension could indicate a different version being served to users, potentially introducing additional privacy or security risks.
Analyst notes
The extension is a feature‑rich VKontakte enhancement tool. All network requests go to the publisher’s own domains ([domain withheld], [domain withheld]) or to well‑known APIs (Telegram, Genius) for declared functionality (stickers, lyrics). The code performs extensive DOM manipulation, ad‑blocking, and media downloading, which fully justifies its broad permissions (declarativeNetRequest, scripting, unlimitedStorage, etc.). No credential theft, unauthorized data exfiltration, or remote code loading from untrusted sources was found. The ML model’s feature‑matching hits (e.g., high XMLHttpRequest counts, appendChild counts) are artifacts of the bundled webpack output and do not indicate malice. The extension’s high permissions match its stated purpose, and the publisher is a Google‑trusted, featured developer with a 4.8‑star rating on 60,000 users.
