Oauth Tokens

Twitch add-on JeetBot leaks 30,000 users' OAuth tokens to Russian bot service

Security firm Socket found that the Chrome and Firefox extension 'Twitch Enhanced Viewer | JeetBot,' which promises ad-blocking and forced 1080p playback, secretly captures users' Twitch OAuth session tokens. The credentials are routed through proxy servers run by JeetBot, a Russian-language streaming and chatbot service, where they land in plaintext request logs accessible to the vendor. The extension exempts ten hardcoded Russian-language channels from this behavior, and its own store listing admits earlier versions sent tokens to its servers outright.
