Is Automate Canva safe?
Automate Canva accepts unauthenticated postMessage data on canva.com and writes it to your Downloads folder.
On every canva.com page, the extension listens for window messages without checking who sent them. Any page that can obtain a handle to an open Canva tab can hand it file bytes and a filename, which the extension saves to disk via chrome.downloads.download with no save dialog and silent overwrite of any existing file at that path. The behavior is meant to let Canva's own page save exported designs, but nothing restricts it to Canva's own scripts.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.
