Is eCaresConnect safe?
eCaresConnect injects a content script into every page you visit and opens new windows to URLs built from data read off the page.
The extension's content script runs on all websites, not just its intended eCares/ecwcloud clinical portal, and wires values scraped from page elements (including what it treats as an account number) into messages sent to its background service worker, which opens them in a new window without checking where the data came from. Separately, the clinical-portal login tokens it uses to fetch patient data are stored in Chrome Sync in addition to local storage, so they are copied to every other browser profile signed into the same Google account.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 7 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 eCaresConnect 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.
- essenint.ecares.io
eCaresConnect sends data to essenint.ecares.io. No other extension we have analyzed sends data here.
