Is Capital Koala safe?
Capital Koala sends login credentials to its API with the password embedded in the request URL.
When a user signs in through the extension, its login flow builds a GET request to www.capitalkoala.com/api/auth/login_v2/ with both login and password values in the query string. The endpoint is a first-party Capital Koala service over HTTPS, but the password is still serialized into the URL rather than sent in a POST body.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

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

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Capital Koala 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.
