Publisher Evidence

Limited evidence

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 — "Spider Man Across the Spider Verse Team Lineup Live Wallpaper" — has 724 findings, but every single one falls into known false-positive categories. There are zero malware signatures, zero obfuscation findings, zero code-smell findings, and zero tool-poisoning findings. The entire finding count is driven by 721 IoC detections and 3 network fetch calls.

The IoC findings are the hallmark of XIOC extractor noise. The detected domains — g.nr, 2.no, v.sy, d.tk, ęh.fj, ů.au, 0.tj, z.qa, 3.ht, l.nr — are all two-to-three-character strings paired with free or obscure TLDs. These are consistent with hex fragments, minified variable names, or short string literals extracted from bundled JavaScript, not real network endpoints. None of these domains correspond to known malicious infrastructure, custom search engines, or browser-hijack patterns. The presence of internationalized characters (ę, ů) further suggests these are artifacts of string extraction from locale or i18n data.

The three network findings are generic fetch calls in js/script.js:45 and js/newsBar.js:17. For a live wallpaper extension, fetching remote content (wallpaper images, news bar data) is expected behavior. There is no evidence these calls transmit user data, credentials, or browsing history to suspicious endpoints.

The developer is attributed as [email protected], which matches a known publisher of Chrome new-tab wallpaper extensions. The extension has only 6 users, which is typical for a niche wallpaper extension and does not indicate a targeted campaign.

A skeptic might argue that 724 findings is inherently suspicious and that the sheer volume warrants concern. However, the finding composition tells a clear story: 721 of 724 findings are IoC garbage from the XIOC extractor, a well-documented noise source. The remaining 3 are routine fetch calls. There is no corroborating evidence — no malware signatures, no obfuscation, no credential access, no suspicious domains — to suggest actual malicious behavior. The high finding count is an artifact of the scanning pipeline, not the extension's code.

Key Reasons

  • All 721 IoC findings are short string fragments consistent with XIOC extractor garbage, not real domains
  • Zero malware signatures, obfuscation, or code-smell findings detected
  • Network fetch calls are expected behavior for a live wallpaper extension
  • Developer attribution matches a known wallpaper extension publisher

False Positive Considerations

  • XIOC extractor producing 721 garbage IoC findings from minified/bundled JavaScript
  • Short two-to-three-character strings misidentified as domains
  • Generic fetch calls in a wallpaper extension flagged as network findings

Reviewed 2026-05-25; recommended action: suppress false positive; model confidence 82%.
