Is SN Utils safe?
SN Utils accepts localhost WebSocket commands that can open tabs and run ServiceNow automation without authenticating the sender.
SN Utils connects its ScriptSync page to a local WebSocket helper at 127.0.0.1:1978 and dispatches JSON commands received there. Those commands can activate or navigate browser tabs, run slash commands, call ServiceNow APIs, change page fields, take screenshots, upload attachments, and run background scripts without the extension authenticating the localhost peer first.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed SN Utils 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.
