Definitions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Type<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Extension<\/strong> – An application installed in Chrome with a large amount of access to Chrome features. They use a permission system to request access to subsets of those features. Depending on the permissions they request, they can add icons to your toolbar or inside the address bar, they can open and close tabs and windows, they have full access to every page you visit and all data sent to the web(even if you use HTTPS), and more besides. GAT Chrome Stats helps you identify extensions that request permissions for potentially malicious features. An example would be Adblock, which runs on every page you visit and monitors what resources the page loads, and can block requests for advertisements.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Chrome App<\/strong> – An application installed on ChromeOS(Chromebook or Chromebox). These have a high level of access to the device they are installed on. Treat these as you would any software program installed on a traditional operating system(such as Photoshop, an Office program, etc. ). They can have a user interface that is separate from that of Chrome itself.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Hosted App<\/strong> – An app that acts as a shortcut to an online web app(such as Gmail, Google Docs, etc). It appears in your New Tab page or at chrome:\/\/apps\/. When you click the hosted app it launches a browser session to the web app. The web app itself has no special permissions or elevated access to Chrome. The app can also run in the background. This creates essentially an \u2018invisible\u2019 tab that can do work while you use other tabs – i.e a file storage site that uploads large files in the background; a \u2018radio\u2019 site that streams and plays music in the background. The background age has no special permissions or elevated access to Chrome. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Legacy Packaged App<\/strong> – An older version of Chrome Apps. These do not have as much access to ChromeOS and local device features as current Chrome Apps.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Install Method<\/b><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Admin<\/strong> – The extension was installed by your organization’s administrator via \u2018enterprise policy\u2019. When you sign into Chrome, this extension is automatically installed, and you cannot remove or disable it without signing out of your organization’s account.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Normal<\/strong> – The extension was installed either through the Chrome Web Store or by manually installing an extension file.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Sideload<\/strong> – The extension was installed by other software on your PC. For example, a piece of software may add an extension to Chrome as part of its installation process, and then use the extension to integrate with the user\u2019s browser.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Development<\/strong> – The extension was installed by manually loading it in developer mode. If you do not actively develop Chrome extensions, you should not have any extensions with this install method.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Other<\/strong> – The extension was installed by other means. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Access Requested<\/b><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • None<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Low<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Medium<\/span><\/li>\n
      • High<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Rating System<\/span><\/h3>\n

        In the GAT Chrome Extension, we rate all installed extensions, including our own, based on the amount of access to your environment that they require. The rating system works based on a permission level. The permission level can be viewed in two ways, the highest level required and the combined total score.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Permission score:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Low<\/li>\n
        • Medium<\/li>\n
        • High<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          To audit the Extensions Used permissions ratings, navigate to GAT<\/strong> Shield\u00a0 (1)\u2192 Audit (2)\u2192 Extensions (3) -> Permission score (4)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \"Extensions<\/p>\n

          All extensions that have at least one access permission request of 3 are marked in Red (High), those whose highest level of access for any permission is a 2 are marked in Orange (Medium), and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

          However, for example, an extension can have many requests for permissions of 2, and if 2 is always the highest it will be marked in orange (medium), while the combined score may be a 6 or even an 8. <\/span><\/p>\n

          In short, the color under the Permission score<\/strong> shows the severity level of the requested access and can be used for easily identification of the potentially maltious software installed, and the Used permissions<\/strong> shows the total number of permissions.<\/p>\n

          In short, the color under the Permission score<\/strong> shows the severity level of the requested access and can be used to easily identify potentially malicious software installed, while Used permissions<\/strong> column shows the total number of permissions.<\/p>\n

          A detailed list of the Permissions available to extensions, their shortcodes, and their permission level scores (as judged by us) are outlined below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
