Is Dog Cuties safe?

High risk

Dog Cuties sends new-tab search queries to dogcuties.com before showing results.

Dog Cuties replaces the browser's new tab page with its own search page. When you type a search and press Enter or click the search button, the extension redirects the query to dogcuties.com in the request URL.

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.

Findings

New-tab search queries are redirected through dogcuties.com

When you search from the Dog Cuties new-tab page, the extension builds a dogcuties.com redirect URL from your raw search text.

That sends the search query in the request URL to dogcuties.com each time you submit the new-tab search box.

What actually happens
You did this

The user submits a search from the extension's new-tab page.

The extension did this

The extension redirects the query through dogcuties.com/search-redirect.php in the request URL.

Captured request
GEThttps://dogcuties.com/search-redirect.php
Fields in the request
  • Your search query
    dog grooming tips (illustrative)

    The words you type into the new-tab search box reveal what you are looking for.

  • Request URL
    https://dogcuties.com/search-redirect.php?q=dog+grooming+tips (illustrative)

    Putting the query in the URL can expose the search terms to the redirect host and URL logs.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Dog Cuties 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.

  • dogcuties.com

    Dog Cuties sends data to dogcuties.com. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
