Extension Details

Developer: getclearing.co

Rating: 5.0 ★ (3 ratings)

Users: 1,000

Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension has very limited trust indicators with only 1,000 users and just 3 ratings, despite having a perfect 5.0 rating. The developer domain getclearing.co suggests a legitimate business purpose related to property management clearing services. However, the small user base and minimal review history provide insufficient validation of the extension's reliability and safety.

Concerns:

The extension exhibits several alarming security characteristics that justify the critical risk rating. The combination of cookies, tabs, and webRequest permissions creates a powerful surveillance toolkit that could intercept, modify, and steal sensitive data across multiple platforms. The broad content script injection capability (*://*/*) allows the extension to execute code on any website, far exceeding what's necessary for Airbnb and VRBO integration. The specific focus on transaction history pages raises concerns about financial data harvesting. The webRequest permission combined with broad host access could enable man-in-the-middle attacks or credential theft.

Recommendations:

Given the critical risk level, avoid installing this extension unless absolutely necessary for business operations. If required, run it in a completely isolated Chrome profile with no access to personal accounts or sensitive data. Regularly audit the extension's network activity and consider using browser developer tools to monitor its behavior. Contact the developer to request detailed documentation about data handling practices and consider alternative solutions with better security profiles.
