Is Felo - Your Free AI Search Assistant safe?
Felo accepts postMessage commands from any webpage with no origin check, letting that page probe URLs and check your X/Xiaohongshu login.
Felo's content script runs on every website and listens for window.postMessage commands without checking who sent them. Any page you visit can use this bridge to have Felo's background worker fetch an arbitrary URL and report back whether it's reachable, check whether you're logged into x.com or xiaohongshu.com, or run keyword searches against Reddit, X, and Xiaohongshu and return the results.
