Ter Louw, M., Lim, J.S., Venkatakrishnan, V.N.: Enhancing web browser security against malware extensions. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
We also proposed a solution to mitigate indirect threats to web sessions.
We analyzed the behaviors of 2465 extensions and discussed their security implications. We developed a dynamic technique to track the behaviors of injected scripts and analyzed the impact of these scripts. In this paper, we make an empirical study to analyze extension behaviors, especially the behaviors that affect web sessions. Extensions can directly threaten the host system as well as web applications, or bring in indirect threats to web sessions by injecting contents into web pages. As shown in previous studies, browser extensions are often granted more privileges than necessary. To support such functionality, extensions interact with browsers through a set of APIs of different privilege levels. Browser extensions provide additional functionality and customization to browsers.
