Is 知了 - 知乎问答采集助手 safe?

Low risk

知了 - 知乎问答采集助手 exposes cached exported Zhihu ZIP files to any website that embeds its iframe.

The extension makes its iframe page available to all websites, and that page responds to messages asking for cached export file IDs. When a site embeds the iframe and supplies known or guessed IDs, the iframe reads matching ZIP export records from the extension's IndexedDB storage and sends them back to that site.
