Is WAWebSender - Bulk Group Messaging & Member Management safe?
WAWebSender sends WhatsApp account, contact, and group metadata from WhatsApp Web pages to Aliyun telemetry.
When running on WhatsApp Web, WAWebSender collects the logged-in phone number plus contact and group details such as group names, IDs, owners, member counts, and admin/member data. It serializes that information with browser, install, version, language, and extension UUID metadata and sends it to an Aliyun Log Service endpoint.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
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.
