Is Lightning Autofill safe?
Lightning Autofill fetches encrypted JavaScript from its servers and injects it into every web page for paid license holders.
For users with a paid license (tier 2 or above), the extension periodically contacts api.lightningautofill.com, downloads AES-GCM-encrypted code blobs, decrypts them using the user's license key as key material, and registers the resulting scripts into the MAIN world on all web pages at document_start. The injected scripts run with eval enabled (unsafe-eval CSP) and can read and modify any page the user visits.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 5 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.
