Is BidPro safe?
BidPro sends device and location details and Manheim login cookies to auctiongate.io while you browse auction sites.
On Copart, IAAI and Manheim pages, the extension sends a device fingerprint, your public IP with city and coordinates, buyer number, lot or VIN details and account IDs to the vendor's backend. It also reads all manheim.com cookies, including HttpOnly session cookies, and uploads them to the same backend so the vendor's server can reuse the login session.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
9 other listings published from this account, 11k+ users between them. 7 of them carry a finding.
Shared hosts - 20 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed BidPro 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.
