Is CDA Downloader safe?
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.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Undefined - 1 other listing from the same operator, none carrying a finding
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.3.1. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
