Is Scan WP - WordPress Theme and Plugin Detector safe?
Scan WP sends the active tab URL to scanwp.net and renders the raw HTML response without sanitization.
Each time a user opens the extension popup, it reads the current tab's URL and transmits it to scanwp.net/extension/ via an XMLHttpRequest. The server response is injected directly into the popup's innerHTML with no sanitization, meaning any HTML or script content returned by scanwp.net is executed in the extension popup context.
