Is IPVanish Secure Browser safe?

Low risk

IPVanish Secure Browser lets any webpage display attacker-controlled HTML on its extension error page.

The extension injects a content script into every webpage and forwards page-supplied error messages to its background worker without checking their origin. Those messages are then shown on an IPVanish-branded extension error page using HTML insertion, so a webpage can control the heading and message shown there.

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