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 Urban Safe Browsing extension, developed by [email protected], has a medium-severity finding related to the declaration of the 'tabs' permission in its manifest.json file. This permission allows the extension to access and manipulate browser tabs, which could be a concern if not properly handled. However, there is no evidence of malicious behavior, such as malware signatures, network findings, or obfuscation. The extension's description and functionality suggest a legitimate purpose of providing a safe browsing experience. A potential counterargument could be that the 'tabs' permission is overly broad and could be used for malicious purposes. However, without additional evidence of malicious intent or behavior, it is reasonable to conclude that this permission is necessary for the extension's intended functionality. Given the lack of concrete evidence of malicious activity, it is likely that this finding is a false positive driven by the IoC extractor's tendency to produce false positives on benign extensions.

Key Reasons

  • No malware signatures matched
  • No network findings
  • No obfuscation detected

False Positive Considerations

  • IoC extractor garbage

Reviewed 2026-05-23; recommended action: suppress false positive; model confidence 80%.
