Is SnapAny - Video/Live/Audio Downloader safe?
SnapAny exposes unguarded postMessage bridges on all pages, letting any site open arbitrary tabs or inject OAuth credentials.
The extension installs two content scripts on every page that listen for cross-origin messages without validating the sender's origin. Any web page can send a crafted message to force the extension to open a URL in a new tab, or to submit a Google OAuth code-and-state pair to api.snapany.com, completing authentication as an unintended user. No origin check or secret token is required to trigger either action.
