Is Panaya Recorder for Web Applications safe?
Panaya Recorder captures DOM content, input values, URLs, and page titles on all sites and sends them to a locally-installed native host.
The extension runs a content script on all pages and frames at document start. When instructed by the locally-installed Panaya native messaging host, it collects element details including typed input values, the full page HTML, the current URL, and the page title, then relays this data back to the native host. It also sweeps all open browser tabs to detect WebDriver-controlled sessions on behalf of the native application.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Panaya WR 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.
