The new Microsoft Edge browser is based on Chromium, the same engine that powers Google Chrome, so it’s capable of running any extension published in the Chrome Web Store.

Only that just like it happens in the case of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge extensions are prone to various infections that could end up with users being exposed.

When the attack was complete, the extension was capable of collecting data from webpages using fake forms and then upload it to a server controller by the attacker, the dev of Dark Reader explains.
Microsoft already removed the extension
Similar clones were also discovered in the extension stores maintained by Google and Mozilla, and the developer says he actually reached out to both companies in April. But Microsoft has only recently been targeted, so a similar message was sent to the software giant too.
The good news is that Microsoft responded quickly and removed the malicious extension from its store. Additionally, the company has also uninstalled the extension from devices where it was previously deployed in an attempt to protect these computers, so users will now see a warning that “this extension contains malware.”
