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 Ferrari F8 Live Wallpaper extension shows 527 IoC findings, but these are classic XIOC extractor false positives. The detected domains—x.de, c.aq, p.gu, 3u.cw, q.ir, k.as, g.pw, ć.gb, u.id, a.bi, c.cy—follow a pattern of single-character or short strings with country-code TLDs, which the CVEQ documentation explicitly identifies as property access chains misread as domains (e.g., b.call, h.next patterns). The file_path for all IoC findings is "extracted_from_files," confirming these are static string extractions, not actual network activity.

The extension has zero malware signatures and zero obfuscation findings, which are the two most critical indicators for malicious extensions. The 22 code-smell findings are classified as low-severity and match common JavaScript patterns that fire on almost any non-trivial code. The 2 network findings include a fetch call in js/popup.js:35, which is expected behavior for a live wallpaper extension that needs to fetch images or configuration data.

The developer attribution ([email protected]) uses an email address rather than a company name, which is slightly concerning but not definitive evidence of malicious intent. The extension's stated purpose (live wallpaper for Ferrari F8) aligns with the minimal network activity observed—fetching images is legitimate functionality for this category.

Counterargument: A skeptic might argue that 527 IoC findings represents significant risk regardless of pattern. However, the CVEQ threat model explicitly states that "IoC COUNT alone is meaningless. Only specific, non-generic suspicious domains matter." None of these domains are known malicious infrastructure, and the single-character pattern is a documented false positive source. Without malware signatures, obfuscation, or actual suspicious network destinations, the high IoC count is noise, not evidence of harm.

Key Reasons

  • IoC domains (x.de, c.aq, p.gu, etc.) match documented XIOC false positive pattern of property access chains
  • Zero malware signatures detected
  • Zero obfuscation findings
  • Network activity (js/popup.js:35 fetch) is consistent with legitimate wallpaper extension behavior
  • Extension purpose matches observed functionality

False Positive Considerations

  • XIOC-DOMAIN false positives (single-character domains with country TLDs)
  • Code-smell findings on common JavaScript patterns
  • Static string extraction from source files

Reviewed 2026-04-30; recommended action: suppress false positive; model confidence 85%.
