Security: Chrome Extension security bug supplanting login form and taking information to steal account

Reported by esteveca...@gmail.com, Oct 6

Issue description

VULNERABILITY DETAILS
I found this bug using a Chrome Exntesion called Grepsr: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grepsr-web-scraping-tool/hjdijkhlfpeafghibmiabeofkiicdnjm

Using this extension, you can scrape any webpage. I was testing it in a service where I had my login information, and they seemed to be able to supplant the actual webpage and took my login credentials to log in their tool. This made them able to take my credentials and steal my account. It can be seen in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWRD3yA2cXI


VERSION
Chrome Version: Versión 69.0.3497.100 (Build oficial) (64 bits)
Operating System: Mac High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)

REPRODUCTION CASE
1. Install Grepsr Account
2. Go to a website where you have a login account with autofill from Chrome
3. Use the extension until they ask you to log in their platform
4. See that they take your autofill password and if you don't look well, you can log in with that details, so the request goes to the server and they have your info.

I incline to mark this as WAI (working as intended). Extensions are powerful stuff.
if you think this extension is malicious, please feel free to report it to the Chrome Web Store. But otherwise, there's not really a bug here.
