Is Chegg Expert Answer Link Finder safe?
Chegg Expert Answer Link Finder sends the popup's rendered Chegg answer list and expert ID to vipsolutions.in.
When the popup opens, the extension fetches the user's answer list from Chegg's expert gateway using their logged-in session and displays it. After half a second it POSTs the popup page's HTML, which includes question snippets, subjects, answer IDs, ratings and dates, plus the Chegg expert user ID, to a third-party server. The popup text mentions sharing the ID with 'VIPVishal' but does not disclose the upload of the answer list.
Rated medium risk because of who publishes it: 1 of the 1 other listing from the same operator is rated high or critical for malicious behaviour. Flagged: Chegg Expert - Every tool you need(Safest) (high).

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, 1k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
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 Chegg Expert Answer Link Finder 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.
