Is Utorrent For Chrome safe?

Medium risk

Utorrent For Chrome sends saved uTorrent Basic Auth credentials to non-magnet links opened from its context menu.

When you use the extension's context-menu download option on a normal link, it fetches that link with an Authorization header built from the stored uTorrent username and password. The downloaded torrent file is then posted to the local uTorrent Web API, using the same stored credentials for that local request.
