Is Polycom® RealPresence® Web Suite Extension safe?
Polycom RealPresence Web Suite Extension exposes native host messaging and screen capture to any HTTPS page via postMessage bridges.
Two broad-scope content scripts (media-content.min.js and ecs-content.min.js) run on all HTTPS pages and listen for window.postMessage events. Both gates check that the incoming message's src field matches a string built from the fixed, public extension ID, which any page can construct. Through these bridges, any page can relay arbitrary commands to the Polycom native host application or trigger a desktop capture prompt and retrieve a screen frame.
