extension cleanup.

  • host_permissions: <all_urls> → localhost / 127.0.0.1. Still needed since devframe sends no CORS headers, but only for the local dev server. Matches what the privacy policy already says.
  • detect-angular.js runs as a MAIN-world content script (Chrome 111+) instead of a web-accessible resource, so websites can't probe chrome-extension:///… to detect the extension.
  • panel-bridge only accepts a known base path and only connects to localhost. Before, a page could return @evil.com/ as its base and the panel would connect to evil.com with extension privileges.
  • Privacy policy + README snippet updated.

Tested in Chromium with the extension loaded: Angular still detected (22.1.7), probe from a plain site went from 200 to blocked. URL guard rejects @evil.com/, //evil.com/, non-local hosts and localhost.evil.com.

Chrome's install prompt still says "all sites", since content scripts must match every page to detect Angular.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security and Privacy
    • Restricted host access to HTTP and HTTPS localhost and 127.0.0.1 addresses.
    • The extension validates detected server addresses and only passes approved local addresses to the panel.
    • Angular detection checks for Angular indicators on pages and does not modify page content.
  • Compatibility
    • The extension now requires Chrome 111 or later.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension limits host permissions to localhost and 127.0.0.1, registers Angular detection as a content script, and checks connection paths and hosts before passing a base URL to the panel.

Changes

Extension access and detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register extension scripts and host permissions
extension/manifest.json, extension/content-script.js, README.md, docs/privacy-policy.html
The manifest limits host permissions to localhost and 127.0.0.1 over HTTP and HTTPS. It sets a minimum Chrome version of 111, registers content-script.js at document_start, and registers detect-angular.js in the MAIN world at document_idle. The page-level injection is removed. The README example and privacy policy describe the permissions and detection script.
Validate panel connection hosts
extension/panel-bridge.js
The bridge accepts a connection result only when its base matches a probed path. It passes a resolved base URL to the panel only when the hostname is localhost or 127.0.0.1.

Opening the DevTools flow on a non-local site still sends fixed connection probes to that site before the localhost check. This is a bounded privacy-boundary gap; gate the probes first if panel connections are intended to remain loopback-only.

- Line 44: Update the privacy policy’s page-scope statements to clarify that
Angular detection runs on matching pages whether or not DevTools is open, not
only on the actively inspected page. In the Angular detection disclosure, name
the ng-version attribute and window.ng global, and clarify that
detect-angular.js reads only this detection metadata and does not modify page
content.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 244: Update the example manifest’s host_permissions entry in the README
to include HTTPS permissions for localhost and 127.0.0.1, matching the existing
HTTP entries and extension manifest.

The nine files under packages/ng-devtools/dist are build artifacts that
went in by accident; /dist in .gitignore only covers the repository
root. The change here is the extension permissions and the docs.

🟡 Minor · Gate connection probes before issuing requests. · panel-bridge.js:30-45

extension/panel-bridge.js:30-45
🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Gate connection probes before issuing requests.

detectConnection() sends relative GETs on the inspected page origin before loadPanel() applies the LOCAL_HOSTS check. A non-loopback page can therefore receive both probes. For a 200 response, the bridge parses the full JSON body into connection, even though the callback only uses base. This exceeds the loopback-only connection boundary.

Suggested fix
     `(function() {
       const paths = ${JSON.stringify(paths)};
+      const localHosts = ${JSON.stringify(LOCAL_HOSTS)};
+      if (!localHosts.includes(location.hostname)) {
+        return null;
+      }
       for (const base of paths) {
