Publisher Evidence

Limited evidence

[email protected]

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 moderate.

This extension presents a Fortnite-themed live wallpaper, a legitimate use case with no evidence of malicious behavior. The 187 IoC findings flagged by the XIOC extractor are entirely false positives matching documented noise patterns. Specific findings like XIOC-DOMAIN-d.call, XIOC-DOMAIN-this.map, XIOC-DOMAIN-e.style, XIOC-DOMAIN-e.target, XIOC-DOMAIN-this.now, and XIOC-DOMAIN-c.postdispatch.call are JavaScript property access chains misparsed as domains. The CVEQ guidelines explicitly document this pattern: "Property access chains misread as domains: b.call, h.next, g.id". These strings represent standard JavaScript object property access (e.g., this.map, e.target), not actual network destinations.

The findings_summary shows "malware-signature":"0" and "malware":"0", meaning no malware family signatures were detected in any scanned files. The "obfuscation":"0" count confirms no obfuscation techniques were identified. These are the two most critical indicators for actual malicious extensions, and both are absent here. The 20 code-smell findings are classified as low severity and match known noise sources per the guidelines: "code-smell findings (severity=low, finding_type=code-smell) are NOISE."

The 2 network findings listed in findings_summary lack specific details in the evidence bundle. Without explicit domain names or suspicious URL patterns, these cannot be assessed as malicious. The extension's description describes a visual customization feature consistent with legitimate wallpaper extensions.

Counterargument: A skeptic would argue the anonymous developer email ([email protected]) and zero user count indicate a suspicious new extension that could be preparing malicious behavior. However, publisher anonymity alone does not constitute evidence of harm. The technical findings show no malware signatures, no obfuscation, and no actual suspicious domains—only XIOC garbage. The guidelines state: "Finding COUNT is not evidence. Finding NATURE is evidence." The nature of all 187 IoCs is false positive property access chains. Without malware signatures or obfuscated payloads co-located with suspicious domains, there is no basis for a confirmed_malicious verdict. The extension may be low-quality or abandoned, but the evidence does not support malicious intent.

Key Reasons

  • All 187 IoC findings are XIOC false positives (property access chains like d.call, this.map, e.target)
  • Zero malware signatures detected
  • Zero obfuscation findings
  • Code-smell findings are documented noise sources
  • Extension purpose (live wallpaper) is legitimate

False Positive Considerations

  • XIOC property access chain misparsing
  • Code-smell rule noise
  • IoC count inflation from false positives

Reviewed 2026-04-30; recommended action: suppress false positive; model confidence 80%.
