Unzip

What This Extension Does

The Unzip extension appears to be designed to allow users to unzip files online, supporting various file formats such as zip, rar, 7z, and tar.gz.

Permissions Explained

Based on the declared permissions, this section will explain what each permission allows:

• No high-risk permissions are declared. However, it's worth noting that some extensions in this category might require access to specific system resources or user data to function correctly.

What We Found in the Code

Our automated scan did not detect any red-flag code patterns. This suggests that the extension's code is generally clean and does not contain obvious security vulnerabilities.

However, we did notice a few points worth mentioning:

• The extension injects content scripts into specific URLs (e.g., *://www.google.com/search), which could be related to its functionality of unzipping files online. This might be necessary for the extension to work correctly on those pages.
• The extension communicates with two external domains: welcome.openzip.app and openzip.app. These domains are likely related to the extension's functionality, possibly used for API calls or data storage.

External Connections

The extension communicates with the following domains:

• welcome.openzip.app
• openzip.app

These domains appear expected given the extension's purpose of unzipping files online. They might be used for API calls or data storage related to the extension's functionality.

Things to Consider

Based on our findings, here are some neutral observations to help users make their own decision:

• The extension does not declare any high-risk permissions, which is a positive sign.
• However, it's worth noting that the extension injects content scripts into specific URLs. While this might be necessary for its functionality, it could also potentially introduce security risks if not implemented correctly.
• The extension communicates with two external domains, which are likely related to its functionality. Users should consider whether they trust these domains and whether the extension's data storage practices align with their expectations.

Overall, our analysis suggests that the Unzip extension appears to be a legitimate tool for unzipping files online. However, users should always exercise caution when installing extensions and review the permissions and external connections carefully before making a decision.
