Is Capios - OCR, Screenshot & Video Capture Tool safe?
Capios ships a disabled LinkedIn sharing branch with OAuth client secret and cookie values in web-accessible source.
Capios includes LinkedIn sharing code in its content script that defines an OAuth client secret and literal LinkedIn cookie header values. The click handler returns before this branch runs, but the strings are still packaged in js/helper.js, and the extension exposes /js/* resources to HTTP and HTTPS pages.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Capios 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.
- www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken
Capios sends data to www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
