Is Trusted Shops extension for Google Chrome safe?
The extension fetches remote JavaScript from widgets.trustedshops.com and injects it into e-commerce pages without integrity verification.
When visiting a supported shop, the extension retrieves a shop-specific script file from a remote server and executes it directly in the page's JavaScript context using a DOM attribute dispatch technique. The fetched script is not pinned to a specific version or validated against an integrity hash, meaning a change on the remote server would immediately affect all users on matching sites.
