Is shortfuts safe?

Clean risk

shortfuts sends EA Ultimate Team search result player IDs, prices, and timers to FUT Alert when search automation runs.

When shortfuts runs its search automation on the EA Ultimate Team web app, it reads the current result rows from the page. It sends each listed player's external ID, buy-now price, and remaining auction time, along with the extension version, to FUT Alert's API.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

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.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed shortfuts 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.
