What This Extension Does
The Image Downloader extension allows users to browse and download images from the web.Permissions Explained
- activeTab: This permission grants the extension access to the currently active tab in the browser, allowing it to read and modify its content.
- scripting: This permission enables the extension to run scripts on web pages, which is necessary for downloading images.
- downloads: This permission allows the extension to manage downloads initiated by it or other extensions.
What We Found in the Code
- [medium] innerHTML assignment — potential XSS vector: The use of
innerHTMLis a common pattern in JavaScript for dynamically updating HTML content. However, when used with untrusted data (e.g., user input), it can introduce security risks such as cross-site scripting (XSS). Without more context, it's difficult to determine if this is a genuine concern. - [high] Listens to keyboard events: Keyboard listeners are often used in extensions for shortcuts or hotkeys. This could be a normal pattern for an extension that needs to interact with the user directly.
External Connections
The extension communicates with several domains:- www.w3.org: A standard domain for web development resources.
- slidezones.com, codebedder.com, and others: These appear to be external libraries or services used by the extension. Their presence is expected given the extension's functionality.
- github.com and raw.githubusercontent.com: These are likely related to the extension's use of GitHub for version control or asset hosting.
Things to Consider
Given its purpose, the Image Downloader extension seems to have a standard set of permissions that align with its claimed functionality. The presence of keyboard listeners could be seen as unusual, but without more context (e.g., whether these are used for shortcuts within the extension's UI), it's hard to assess this as a genuine concern. Users might want to consider if an extension with such broad access to their browsing data is necessary for its claimed purpose.Similar Extensions
