Malicious Browser Extensions

Malicious Extensions

Overview

❗ The owner and contributors are NOT RESPONSIBLE in any shape or form for any damage inflicted by the negligent use of samples stored in the repository, users must take necessary precautions prior to executing the samples.

This repository consolidates malicious browser extensions identified through:

  • Independent security research
  • Public incident disclosures
  • Security blogs and threat intelligence reports
  • Verified media investigations

All CRX samples collected here are used to train and evaluate the AI detection engine behind ExterminAI. The objective is to centralize fragmented research into a structured dataset for analysis and model development.

Purpose

This dataset enables:

  • Static analysis of malicious extension code
  • Permission abuse pattern analysis
  • Study of obfuscation and payload injection techniques
  • Behavioral modeling for detection systems
  • Benchmarking AI-based classification models

The IDs of the browser extensions found in this database are retrivered by news articles realted to Malicious Browser Extensions such as:

All automatically done using n8n

⚠️ Disclaimer

This repository contains malicious software samples. They are provided strictly for:

  • Research
  • Detection model development
  • Educational analysis

Do not install these extensions in a production browser environment. Use isolated VMs or sandboxed analysis environments only.

🔐 Legal & Ethical Notice

All samples originate from publicly reported malicious extensions.

This repository does not redistribute proprietary software for exploitation purposes. It exists solely for defensive cybersecurity research.

About

This Repository is created after my own research into malicious browser extensions, by brining the work of many others and news articles into one place. The CRX in this Repository are used to train AI Model behind ExterminAI. I hope this will allow others to explore the world of malicious browser extensions and their behaviour!
