What our analysis found

Web Paint, used by 20,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2024.

Analyst notes

The extension is a straightforward canvas-based web painting tool. injects jQuery and into the active tab on user click; draws on a canvas overlay using the HTML5 Canvas API, manages an undo stack, and saves a color palette to chrome.storage.local — all fully consistent with the declared purpose. There are zero outbound network requests, no remote code loading, no data exfiltration, and no obfuscation. The ML score of 0.21 (high) appears driven by the scripting permission combined with dynamic executeScript calls, which are both expected and necessary for a page-annotation tool. Third-party scores (impact) and the clean publisher reputation further contradict any malicious signal.
