Broad Host Permissions

Flags items that declare overly broad host access patterns, enabling interaction with all websites. This level of access can be exploited to inject scripts into trusted sites and increases the risk of sensitive data exposure, cross-site surveillance, and credential harvesting.

Code Execution Permissions

Flags items that request permissions allowing them to inject, execute, or modify code at runtime. These capabilities expand the item’s control over the browser environment and significantly increase the potential for evasive behavior, or post-install exploitation.

Publisher Low Install Count

Flags publishers lacking installs on the marketplace, suggesting concerns about the publisher's reliability.
