It's also alarming that GNOME extensions are updated in the background without user interaction, and the feature cannot be disabled. These extensions are not sandboxed, can run arbitrary commands, and have access to the entire system. Extensions are practically a backdoor for the entire GNOME user base that can be accessed by compromising the update server.
