Is Whatfix for Infosys safe?

Low risk

Whatfix for Infosys relays unauthenticated postMessage input on Workday pages into an unrestricted background fetch proxy.

On Workday and myWorkday pages, a content script listens for window postMessage events without checking the sender's origin and forwards API requests to the extension's background service worker. The only validation function there is an unimplemented stub that always returns true, so any page (including an embedded iframe) can direct the extension to fetch an arbitrary URL with attacker-supplied headers and body, and get the response text back.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

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.
