Is ICBCAssistChromeExtension safe?

Low risk

ICBCAssistChromeExtension bridges ICBC bank web pages to a locally installed native application via native messaging.

The extension listens for messages from ICBC-owned domains (icbc.com.cn, icbc.com, dccnet.com.cn, 95588.com) and forwards commands such as Run, GetVer, and quit to a native executable installed on the user's computer. The native messaging host is registered under the name com.google.chrome.assist.plugin, a Google-branded namespace, rather than an ICBC-branded identifier. No user data is transmitted to remote servers; all communication stays between ICBC web pages and the local native app.
