Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH

Overall Risk

Trust Factors: This extension has several concerning trust indicators. With only 1,000 users and a low 3.0 rating from just 2 reviews, it lacks widespread adoption and user confidence. The absence of clear author and developer information raises transparency concerns, making it difficult to verify the extension's legitimacy or contact support if issues arise.

Concerns:

- The broad host permissions to "productivityimprover.com" and localhost appear excessive for a PDF email extraction tool, potentially allowing data collection from unrelated websites

- The unsafe WebAssembly execution policy ('wasm-unsafe-eval') creates security vulnerabilities by allowing potentially malicious code to run hidden from standard security checks

- The combination of storage permissions with broad host access could enable unauthorized data harvesting and storage

- The localhost permission is particularly suspicious as it could allow access to local development servers or services

- Low user adoption and poor ratings suggest potential functionality or security issues

Recommendations:

Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate potential risks from your main browsing data. Given the security findings and trust concerns, you might want to explore alternative PDF email extraction tools with better security practices, higher user ratings, and more transparent developer information. If you must use this extension, avoid using it on sensitive websites and regularly review what data it may have stored.

Findings

HIGH

Broad Host Permissions
