Is MagickPen - ChatGPT Writing Assistant safe?

Medium risk

MagickPen - ChatGPT Writing Assistant sends requests to api.magickpen.com with reusable signing secrets in its bundle.

The popup and options pages create an API client for api.magickpen.com and attach static X-API-Secret, secret, timestamp, nonce, and MD5 signature headers to every request. If a license key is stored locally, the same request interceptor also forwards it as X-License-Key.
