I built a free Chrome extension security scanner now Fortune 500 teams use it

2•jensec•1mo ago
Built this to speed up my own bug bounty workflow. Got tired of manually pulling apart .crx files to check what permissions extensions were asking for and why.

Paste a Chrome Web Store URL, it analyzes the extension and flags sketchy stuff. Added an LLM layer that catches things grep can't.

Made it free, mass awareness helps find more vulns. 20k+ people use it now, then random enterprise security teams started showing up. Still wrapping my head around that one.

Feedback welcome.

Scanned mine:

https://crxplorer.com?extensionId=babjpljmacbefcmlomjedmgmke...

It's getting a 20% safety score on CSP, saying:

> The complete absence of a Content Security Policy (CSP) is a critical security vulnerability…

But absence means that it uses the default, which is fine in my case:

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/manif...

---

And 65% on permissions, (it uses "download") and it says:

> …its necessity is unclear without an overview of the extension’s specific purpose.

but its purpose is stated
