Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (500,000), which could indicate some level of trust and popularity.
- However, there is limited information provided about the developer or company behind the extension, making it difficult to assess their reputation.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (http://localhost/*, *://*/*), allowing it to access all websites. This is an unnecessary level of access for a crypto wallet extension and raises privacy concerns.
- The "tabs" permission allows the extension to access and manipulate browser tabs, which could potentially be abused for malicious purposes.
- The Content Security Policy (CSP) allows "wasm-unsafe-eval," enabling the execution of potentially unsafe WebAssembly code, which could be used to hide malicious activities or perform resource-intensive operations.
- The extension requests the "unlimitedStorage" permission, allowing it to store an unlimited amount of data locally, which could be a privacy concern if sensitive information is stored.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it poses a high risk due to its broad permissions and potential security vulnerabilities.
- If you decide to use this extension, consider running it in a separate browser profile or a dedicated instance of your browser to isolate it from your main browsing activities.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and behavior, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activities or performance issues.
- Consider using alternative crypto wallet extensions from reputable developers with a proven track record of security and privacy practices.
