The PageAgent has access to the security tokens of the currently logged in user. They can do anything the user can on the site, including become them. What is to prevent the PageAgent from being exploited and send these security tokens elsewhere? It would be trivial for some other package to look for your PageAgent and override key functions, and then it is all over. |

The browser extension can be more risky because it's more privileged. I've designed a simple authorization mechanism so that only pages explicitly approved by the user can call the extension.
That said, I'd welcome more eyes on this. If anyone wants to review the security model, the code is fully open source.
