Kicking the Rims - A Guide for Securely Writing and Auditing Chrome Extensions

A guide to how Chrome extensions divide privilege between content scripts, background pages and isolated worlds, and to the anti-patterns that let a hostile web page cross that boundary: weak postMessage origin checks, DOM XSS reaching privileged APIs, loose externally_connectable rules and clickjackable web-accessible pages. It also releases tarnish, an automated extension auditor.
