Is DataSpark Tools safe?
DataSpark Tools places its DataSpark API key in a Walmart page iframe URL.
On Walmart product pages, the extension builds a dataspark.co login URL with its DataSpark API key in the query string and inserts it as an iframe in the page DOM. Scripts running on the same page can read that iframe src and recover the API key.

Threecolts - 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, 2k+ 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

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed DataSpark Tools 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.
