Publisher identity, store signals, distribution reach, and warning signals used for context. Treat this as supporting evidence, not a clean bill of health.

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 weak.

This extension, 'Kuromi & Cute Pink Clouds Live Wallpaper from Sanrio,' is a live wallpaper new-tab replacement from a Sanrio-themed developer ([email protected]) with a small user base of 17 users. The 210 total findings are overwhelmingly composed of 207 IoC (Indicator of Compromise) findings, which the CVEQ platform notes are often inflated by known false-positive patterns.

Examining the IoC findings reveals that every single detected 'domain' is not a real network destination. Examples include 'finish.call', 'v.beforesend.call', 'r.open', 't.fail', 's.data', 'v.data', 'r.host', 'ce.now', 'post.link', and 'v.global'. These are not domain names — they are JavaScript property access chains and method calls (e.g., XMLHttpRequest property patterns like xhr.open, xhr.beforesend, dh.t.fail, dh.v.data). The XIOC extractor has misread fragments of minified or bundled JavaScript source code as domain names. This matches the documented CVEQ false-positive pattern where property access chains are misread as domains.

The three network findings (NET-FETCH in js/newsBar.js:17 and js/script.js:45) are generic fetch() API calls. Fetch usage in a wallpaper extension is expected behavior — it would be needed to load wallpaper images or content. No specific suspicious URLs are provided for these fetch calls in the evidence.

There are zero malware signatures, zero obfuscation findings, zero code-smell findings, zero tool-poisoning findings, and zero secrets findings across all categories. The developer has identifiable contact information. There is no indication of impersonation — the extension name references Kuromi (a Sanrio character) and the developer appears to be a Sanrio fan content creator rather than impersonating a well-known extension brand.A skeptic might argue that 210 findings is a high number and warrants concern. However, the CVEQ platform documentation explicitly warns that IoC volume alone is misleading, and that the XIOC extractor produces massive false-positive volumes from minified JavaScript. Every IoC finding in this extension is a known false-positive artifact of code parsing, not a real network indicator. The three fetch calls are generic API usage with no suspicious endpoints visible. With no malware signatures, no obfuscation, no tool poisoning, and an identifiable developer, the evidence points entirely to noise from bundled code being misread by automated scanners.

Key Reasons

  • All 207 IC findings are known-false positive domain misreads (property access chains like .call, .open, .fail, .data)
  • Zero malware signatures, zero obfuscation, zero secret findings
  • Two fetch() calls in newsBar.js and script.js are generic API usage expected in a wallpaper extension
  • Developer is identified ([email protected]) with no impersonation indicators

False Positive Considerations

  • XIOC property access chains misread as domains (finish.call, v.beforesend.call, etc.)
  • No malware signatures or obfuscation present
  • Generic fetch() calls in a wallpaper extension are expected behavior
  • Small developer-identified extension with no impersonation signals
