Location Guard ships a hardcoded third-party geocoding API key in its extension bundle.

The extension includes a plain-text OpenRouteService API key directly in its JavaScript source (js/gui/options.js). This key is passed to the geocoder component and is sent as a request parameter to api.openrouteservice.org whenever the geocoding feature is used. Anyone who inspects the extension source can read and reuse this key.

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