Is Surfingkeys safe?
Surfingkeys lets any web page send editor commands through its native Neovim bridge.
A web page can post a message that Surfingkeys forwards through its content script and frontend without origin checks. A crafted editor request can reach the native Neovim integration and send page-controlled file name, content, and type values to the local editor bridge.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.17.11. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed surfingkeys_ff 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.
