Is AliImage Search safe?
AliImage Search routes AliExpress product and store clicks through an eshopwell.xyz affiliate endpoint.
On AliExpress pages, AliImage Search adds click handlers to product and store links once per day. When one of those links is clicked, it prevents the normal click and opens the clicked AliExpress URL through eshopwell.xyz/cpa in a background tab.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 90k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
