Is M3U IPTV safe?

Medium risk

M3U IPTV sends playlist URLs to m3u-ip.tv over HTTP and lets that site read cross-origin responses.

When you enter an M3U playlist URL, the popup appends it to http://m3u-ip.tv/browser/?url= and loads that page in an iframe or new tab, so the URL is sent to m3u-ip.tv without HTTPS. The extension also installs a browser network rule that gives pages initiated by m3u-ip.tv permissive CORS response headers for broad resource types across all URLs.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed M3U IPTV contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
