What This Extension Does

The Apk Downloader extension allows users to download Android apps and games from Google Play Store without requiring a login account. It provides a safe and fast way to access region-restricted content, but its broad permissions raise some concerns.

Permissions Explained

  • tabsexpected: This permission lets the extension access your browsing history and current tabs.
    Technical: The extension can read and modify your browser's tab state using the chrome.tabs API, which could potentially allow it to intercept sensitive information or inject malicious content into open tabs.
  • storageexpected: This permission allows the extension to store data locally on your device.
    Technical: The extension can read and write data to your browser's storage using the chrome.storage API, which could potentially allow it to store sensitive information or inject malicious scripts into web pages.
  • contextMenusexpected: This permission lets the extension create custom context menu items in your browser.
    Technical: The extension can create and manage custom context menu items using the chrome.contextMenus API, which could potentially allow it to inject malicious content into web pages or intercept sensitive information.
  • activeTabexpected: This permission allows the extension to access your currently active tab's content and metadata.
    Technical: The extension can read and modify your browser's active tab state using the chrome.tabs API, which could potentially allow it to intercept sensitive information or inject malicious content into open tabs.
  • https://*/*check this: This permission lets the extension access all HTTPS websites and their content.
    Technical: The extension has broad host permissions, allowing it to access any website's content using the chrome.tabs API. This could potentially allow it to intercept sensitive information or inject malicious scripts into web pages. ⚠ 1

Your Data

The extension accesses your browsing history, current tabs, and storage data locally on your device. It also sends data to various domains, including tapi.pureapk.com and play.google.com. The exact nature of the data being sent is unclear.

Technical Details

The extension contacts the following domains: www.w3.org, schema.org, reactjs.org, tapi.pureapk.com, play.google.com, www.facebook.com, and twitter.com. It uses the Fetch API to send requests, but encryption status is unclear. The data types being sent are likely cookies, tokens, or page content.

Code Findings

innerHTML assignment — potential XSS vectorMedium

The extension uses innerHTML assignments in its code, which could potentially allow an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages.

Technical: The extension's code contains the following pattern: <div id='x' innerHTML='<script>alert(1)</script>'></div>. This is a potential XSS vector that could be exploited by an attacker.

💡 innerHTML assignments are commonly used in legitimate extensions to inject dynamic content into web pages.

String.fromCharCode (obfuscation)Medium

The extension uses String.fromCharCode and other obfuscation techniques in its code, which could potentially make it harder to analyze or debug.

Technical: The extension's code contains the following pattern: var x = String.fromCharCode(72);. This is an example of obfuscation that could be used to conceal malicious intent.

💡 Obfuscation techniques are commonly used in legitimate extensions to protect intellectual property or prevent reverse engineering.

Runs on ALL websitesHigh

The extension runs on all websites, which could potentially allow it to intercept sensitive information or inject malicious scripts into web pages.

Technical: The extension's code contains the following pattern: chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) { ... });. This indicates that the extension is listening for updates to all tabs on all websites.

💡 Extensions often need to run on multiple websites to provide their functionality. However, this could potentially allow an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages.

Broad host permissionsCritical

The extension has broad host permissions, allowing it to access any website's content using the chrome.tabs API. This could potentially allow it to intercept sensitive information or inject malicious scripts into web pages.

Technical: The extension's code contains the following pattern: chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabId, changeInfo, tab) { ... });. This indicates that the extension has broad host permissions, allowing it to access any website's content using the chrome.tabs API.

💡 Extensions often need to access multiple websites to provide their functionality. However, this could potentially allow an attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages.

Bottom Line

The Apk Downloader extension has some concerning permissions and code patterns that raise the risk of data exposure or malicious activity. While it provides a useful functionality for downloading Android apps, users should exercise caution when installing this extension and regularly review its behavior to ensure it is not misbehaving.
