Is VKnow safe?

Medium risk

VKnow embeds a file-download signing credential and puts login passwords in request URLs.

When users sign in, the extension sends the username and password to apilive.violetlms.com with the password included in the HTTPS URL query string. Its code also uses a hardcoded file-download signing credential for Violet LMS document and media requests and stores domain API keys in page localStorage using a fixed AES passphrase.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed VKnow 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.

  • apilive.violetlms.com

    VKnow sends data to apilive.violetlms.com. No other extension we have analyzed sends data here.
