Is Zephyr Capture for JIRA safe?

Low risk

Zephyr Capture for JIRA lets any web page ask the extension to start screenshots or tab recording.

The extension injects a page message bridge on all file, HTTP, and HTTPS pages and forwards matching page messages to its background script without checking the page origin. Those messages can reach screenshot and recording handlers that use Chrome capture APIs for the active tab.

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.
