Is IBM Cognos TM1 Web Clipboard Extension safe?

Low risk

IBM Cognos TM1 Web Clipboard Extension lets any website read and overwrite your clipboard with no origin check.

This extension listens for two custom events on every http/https page it runs on and relays them to a background script that has clipboard access. Any webpage's own script can dispatch these events to read the current OS clipboard contents or silently replace them with attacker-chosen text, since the extension never checks which site sent the request.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
