Is CDA Downloader safe?

Low risk

CDA Downloader randomly opens short.ovh advertising tabs when you click links or its download button on CDA pages.

On matching cda.pl pages, CDA Downloader's content script sometimes opens one of three hardcoded short.ovh URLs in a new tab after ordinary link clicks or download-button clicks. That navigation can provide short.ovh with the page URL or referrer information associated with the click.

1 other listing published from this account, 3k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.

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.
