Is IExtension safe?

Medium risk

IExtension accepts login bearer tokens on plaintext HTTP SSO redirect URLs.

IExtension registers content scripts on HTTP and HTTPS SSO redirect pages and reads a token parameter from the redirect URL. The token is sent to the background page and stored as the extension's user token, so login credentials can be handled through cleartext hocgin.com redirect endpoints.
