Is Edit with Sublime Text™ safe?

Low risk

Edit with Sublime Text exposes a web-accessible page any site can embed to write arbitrary content to disk and open it in Sublime Text.

The extension's native/index.html is accessible to all web origins and reads arbitrary content and a file extension from URL parameters. It passes these directly to the com.add0n.native_client native messaging host, which writes the content to a temp file and executes the user-configured shell command to open that file in Sublime Text. No validation checks that the embedding page is legitimate, so any web page can trigger this flow.
