Same store account

2 other listings published from this account, 30k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

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.

What it can do

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.1.8. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to. The current listed version is 2.1.0, which we have not unpacked yet.
