Is Verbal safe?
Verbal loads its uuid library live from jspm.dev with no version pin, in a worker with tabCapture, scripting and all-site access.
Every time Verbal's background service worker starts up, it fetches the 'uuid' code library directly from the public CDN jspm.dev instead of bundling it, with no version lock and no integrity check on what comes back. That same worker holds permission to capture tab audio/video, run scripts on any page, and access every website you visit, so whatever jspm.dev serves for that import runs with all of those privileges.
