Code Findings
The extension captures keystrokes, which can be used to steal sensitive information such as login credentials.
Technical: The extension uses the charCodeAt function to capture keystrokes in a way that is difficult to detect. This behavior is likely intended for analytics or bug tracking purposes but poses a critical risk if compromised.
💡 Some extensions may use keystroke capture for legitimate purposes such as password management or form filling, but this should be clearly disclosed and justified.
The extension has broad host permissions, which can allow it to access sensitive information on any website.
Technical: The extension's manifest.json file specifies a broad set of host permissions that allow it to access data on any website. This behavior is likely intended for the extension's core functionality but poses a high risk if compromised.
💡 Some extensions may require broad host permissions for legitimate purposes such as content blocking or ad filtering, but this should be clearly disclosed and justified.
The extension uses code obfuscation techniques to make its code difficult to read.
Technical: The extension's JavaScript files use the charCodeAt function to obfuscate its code. This behavior is likely intended to prevent reverse engineering but poses a medium risk if compromised.
💡 Some extensions may use code obfuscation for legitimate purposes such as protecting intellectual property, but this should be clearly disclosed and justified.
Cookie Editor is a powerful extension that provides useful features for managing cookies. However, its broad host permissions and keystroke capture behavior pose significant risks if compromised. Users should exercise caution when installing this extension and ensure they understand the potential consequences of its behavior.
