Is Docutracks Signer safe?

Low risk

Docutracks Signer forwards page-fired 'signFileHash' events from any site to a local native signing host.

The extension runs a content script on all pages that listens for a 'signFileHash' event and passes its data to the com.dataverse.docutrackssigner native messaging host, which drives a local document-signing application. The signing result (a hash or a cancel status) is returned to the calling page as another event. No allowlist of calling sites was found in the extension code, and the host's behavior was not inspected.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Docutracks Signer 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.
