What This Extension Does

The Return Youtube Dislike extension, categorized as Lifestyle/fun, allows users to see dislikes on YouTube videos.

Permissions Explained

  • storage: This permission grants the extension access to store and retrieve data locally on the user's device.
  • identity: This permission allows the extension to access the user's identity information, which could include their Google account credentials.
  • *://*.youtube.com/*: This is a wildcard permission that grants access to all YouTube domains. It's unusual for an extension to request such broad permissions unless it needs to interact with specific features or data on these sites.

What We Found in the Code

  • [medium] innerHTML assignment β€” potential XSS vector: The use of innerHTML can be a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability if untrusted data is inserted into the DOM. However, without more context, it's difficult to say whether this is a genuine concern or just a normal coding pattern for UI rendering.
  • [info] Makes HTTP requests: This is a common behavior for extensions that need to fetch data from external sources. Without further information on what these requests are for and where they're going, it's hard to assess the security implications.

External Connections

The extension communicates with several domains:
  • www.apache.org, github.com, developer.mozilla.org: These appear to be related to open-source development resources and documentation.
  • returnyoutubedislike.com, returnyoutubedislikeapi.com: These are likely the extension's own domain and API, respectively.
  • www.w3.org, en.wikipedia.org: These seem unrelated to the extension's functionality but could be used for educational or informational purposes within the extension.
  • discord.gg, www.patreon.com, accounts.google.com: These domains suggest integration with external services (Discord, Patreon) and Google account management.
  • raw.githubusercontent.com, jsbench.me: These are likely related to code hosting and benchmarking resources.

Things to Consider

Given the extension's purpose is to provide a feature that YouTube doesn't natively offer, it's reasonable for it to request access to YouTube domains. However, the broad permission granted to all YouTube domains might be considered excessive by some users. The use of storage and identity permissions aligns with typical functionality for extensions that need to remember user settings or authenticate with external services. The extension's communication with various external domains suggests a mix of legitimate resource usage (e.g., documentation) and integration with external services, which could raise privacy concerns depending on the nature of these integrations.
