Key findings
- Medium
Network Interception
Connection state is held only in the service-worker globals (:3-4), but chrome.proxy.settings.set is written with scope "regular" (:189-192), which persists across service-worker eviction and browser restarts. MV3 workers are terminated after roughly 30s idle, resetting the globals, and the bundle contains no chrome.storage (no storage permission is requested) and no chrome.proxy.settings.get to re-read the real state, so RELAY_POLL (:241-245) answers from stale memory. The result is that the popup renders "Включить" (disconnected) while every request in the browser is still being tunnelled to the hardcoded SOCKS5 node, giving an undisclosed operator continued visibility of all destination hostnames and plaintext HTTP without the user believing the proxy is on.
Analyst notes
The code is small, unobfuscated and does exactly what the listing claims: sets chrome.proxy.settings to a fixed SOCKS5 node and renders a popup — there is no telemetry, no content script, no remote code loading, no access, and the bundled manifest matches the published manifest exactly (manifest_version 3, permissions: ["proxy"]). The one code-specific defect is a state desync: connection state lives only in the MV3 service-worker globals (:3-4), there is no storage permission and no chrome.proxy.settings.get anywhere in the bundle, yet the proxy setting is written with scope "regular" and persists across restarts — so after the worker is evicted the popup reports "off" (RELAY_POLL,:241-245) while all traffic still exits through; intent is unprovable, which is why this is suspicious rather than malicious. Corroborating context (publisher malicious, 77% of the 1026-member permhash cluster flagged, chrome-stats likelihood) is weak and likely circular here: this extension's own label comes from the malext feed import, which the internal note itself describes as not an independent code review, and the chrome-stats "permission-clipboard" reason is simply wrong — no clipboard permission or clipboard API appears anywhere in the bundle. Secondary code-level oddities: the free tier is an unauthenticated SOCKS5 endpoint on a bare IP operated by an undisclosed party while CWS data collection is "none declared" (the proxy necessarily sees every destination hostname, since Chrome resolves DNS remotely over socks5); the premium funnel in:195-197 points at [domain withheld] / [domain withheld] with tracked ref UUIDs, a different brand from the manifest's homepage_url [domain withheld]; and:30 advertises "25 серверов" while the arrays list 20. Note the bundle supplied only 5 files — the assets/ directory (icons,,) referenced by the manifest and popup was not provided, so those were not reviewed, though SVGs loaded via <img> cannot execute script.
