Is Diigo Web Collector - Capture and Annotate safe?
Diigo Web Collector lets any matched webpage request Diigo bookmark/account context through unchecked messages.
The extension's content script accepts page messages without checking their origin or source, so a webpage can ask for Diigo bookmark and account context and receive the response through a page-controlled frame. The same message handler can also make the extension fetch an arbitrary image URL and upload it to Diigo, or create Diigo lists, using the signed-in user's Diigo account.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 24 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.
