Q: Is internet_archive_downloader safe?

internet_archive_downloader is low risk. The rating reflects signals from our analysis that have not yet been published as detailed findings.

Low risk

Internet Archive Downloader sets CORS headers on archive.org responses to allow credentialed cross-origin fetches when downloading books.

The extension injects content scripts into archive.org and babel.hathitrust.org pages to add download buttons for books and PDFs. On install, it installs a declarativeNetRequest rule that sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin and Access-Control-Allow-Credentials on responses to any request originating from archive.org, allowing those pages to make credentialed cross-origin requests. The extension does not transmit user data to any remote server; all activity is local or directed at archive.org and hathitrust.org.

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

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
