Is Whatfix For Google safe?
Whatfix For Google accepts window messages without checking origin and can be made to fetch caller-chosen URLs and screenshot the tab.
On every google.com page, a content script listens for window postMessage events without verifying the sender's origin, and forwards a matching command string into the background service worker's internal message handlers. Two of those handlers are privileged: one makes the background worker POST an attacker-supplied URL with attacker-supplied headers and returns the response, and the other captures a screenshot of the visible tab and returns it as an image. Any script able to post a message into a matched frame can reach these actions.

Whatfix Pvt Limited - 3 other listings from the same operator, none carrying a finding
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same operator - 3 listings
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.
