Is DICOM viewer extension safe?

Low risk

DICOM viewer extension relays unvalidated page events to browser APIs, letting any website trigger native host calls and tab control.

The extension's content script runs on all HTTP and HTTPS pages and forwards CustomEvents fired by any web page directly to the background without origin validation. Through this relay, a page can send commands that connect to a native messaging host (dicom.printer.native.messaging), enumerate and manipulate open browser tabs (close, reload, resize, fullscreen), or read system memory information. The lack of origin checks means any website the user visits can invoke these privileged operations.
