Chrome does not expose the same publisher verification data as IDE stores, so this score is deliberately conservative.

AI Security Report

AI Security Review

Evidence context: threat category none; evidence quality moderate.

The extension "Mercedes, Ferrari, Toyota, Bmw Live Wallpaper" (developer: [email protected]) shows 489 IoC findings but zero malware signatures, zero obfuscation findings, and zero network findings. The IoC domains detected—such as 6.gw, z.gb, y.ck, t.pm, g.sn, g.aq, d.ci—and those with non-ASCII characters like ݦh.lb, eǒ.ve, æ.uz—are suspicious on their face. However, these domains appear in the file_path "extracted_from_files" without specific file attribution, which is characteristic of IoC extractor noise.

The 17 code-smell findings (severity: high per the summary, but code-smell findings are classified as low-severity noise per the CVEQ framework) match basic JavaScript patterns and do not indicate malicious behavior. The absence of malware signatures is particularly significant—real malware typically triggers at least one signature-based detection. Similarly, the absence of obfuscation findings contradicts typical malware behavior, which often employs code obfuscation to evade detection.

The extension has a legitimate-sounding purpose (live wallpaper for luxury cars) and the developer uses a personal Gmail address ([email protected]), which is a red flag but not definitive evidence of malice. The version number 9.9.9 is suspicious and commonly used by spam extensions, but this alone does not confirm malicious intent.

Counterargument: A skeptic would argue that 489 IoC findings with genuinely suspicious domain patterns (single-character domains, non-ASCII characters) warrant a malicious verdict regardless of other findings. However, this argument fails because: (1) the IoC extractor is documented to produce massive false positives from property access chains and minified code; (2) there is zero corroborating evidence from malware signatures, obfuscation, or network findings; (3) real malware rarely evades all signature-based and obfuscation-based detection simultaneously. The finding volume is driven by the IoC extractor, not by confirmed malicious behavior.

Runtime analysis would clarify whether these domains are actually contacted during execution, but based on the static analysis evidence, these findings are likely false positives.

Key Reasons

  • Zero malware signatures despite 489 IoC findings
  • Zero obfuscation findings contradicts typical malware behavior
  • Zero network findings show no actual traffic to suspicious domains
  • IoC domains lack specific file path attribution (extracted_from_files)
  • Code-smell findings match benign JavaScript patterns

False Positive Considerations

  • IoC extractor parsing property access chains as domains
  • Code-smell findings matching basic JavaScript patterns
  • No malware signatures or obfuscation to corroborate IoCs
  • Generic file path attribution (extracted_from_files)

Reviewed 2026-04-30; recommended action: suppress false positive; model confidence 65%.
