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 strong.

This extension, "Dark Souls Trial By Fire Live Wallpaper," triggers 211 total findings, but all evidence points to automated scanner noise rather than malicious behavior.

The 196 medium-severity IoC findings are exclusively XIOC extractor false positives. Every listed domain is a JavaScript property access chain misinterpreted as a network indicator: this.map, ce.event.global, ce.event.handlers.call, u.data, o.data, c.postdispatch.call, e.target, c.predispatch.call, t.click, ke.td, f.setup.call, and f.add.call. These patterns match the documented XIOC garbage profile where property access chains like b.call, h.next, and g.id are incorrectly flagged as domains. None of these represent actual network destinations.

Critically, the evidence shows zero malware signatures, zero obfuscation findings, and zero network activity findings. The 15 low-severity code-smell findings are expected noise from standard YARA rules that fire on basic JavaScript patterns. The extension description describes a legitimate use case (gaming live wallpaper) with no indication of credential theft, browser hijacking, or proxyware functionality.

The developer identity ([email protected]) is a personal Gmail account rather than a verified company, which is a minor concern but not determinative. The low user count (11 users) means this extension has limited exposure, though it also means less community scrutiny.

Counterargument consideration: A skeptic might argue that 196 IoC findings represents a significant attack surface regardless of their nature. This reasoning fails because finding count is explicitly not evidence—the guidelines state "Finding COUNT is not evidence. Finding NATURE is evidence." All 196 IoCs are the same false positive pattern (property access chains), not 196 distinct suspicious domains. If this were a real threat, we would expect at least one of the following: actual network findings showing connections to unknown domains, malware signatures, obfuscation in non-locale files, or suspicious behavior matching the extension's stated purpose. None of these exist.

The verdict is likely_false_positive because every finding maps to a documented false positive pattern with zero corroborating evidence of malicious intent or capability.

Key Reasons

  • All 196 IoC findings are XIOC parser artifacts (property access chains like this.map, e.target, c.postdispatch.call)
  • Zero malware signatures detected
  • Zero obfuscation findings
  • Zero network activity findings
  • Extension description matches legitimate wallpaper functionality

False Positive Considerations

  • XIOC property access chain misinterpretation
  • Code-smell YARA rules on standard JavaScript patterns
  • No actual network findings to corroborate IoC claims

Reviewed 2026-04-27; recommended action: suppress false positive; model confidence 85%.
