Is Douban Book+ safe?
Douban Book+ sends Douban book page metadata to api.old-panda.com to retrieve ebook vendor links.
When you open a Douban book subject page, the extension reads the book title, ISBN, publisher, authors, Douban page URL, and any visible Douban or Dedao ebook links. It sends those fields to api.old-panda.com/GetEBookUrls and uses the response to show links for supported ebook platforms on the page.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 9k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Douban Book+ 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.
