Is AWS SSO Extender safe?
AWS SSO Extender uses your AWS SSO cookie to load your Identity Center apps and profiles from AWS.
On AWS SSO start pages, the extension reads the AWS SSO authentication cookie from the page and sends it as a bearer token to AWS Identity Center portal APIs. It uses those AWS responses to list your available applications and profiles in the extension UI.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed AWS SSO Extender contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
