So in this case "Google Mail Checker Plus" version 1.1.7 (2010-02-10)

All extensions runs over his origin and no have way to altered data from extension
or get sensitive data like , email account or password etc..

############
explanation
############

Google Mail Checker Plus allows users to view wen they have a new mail and
view a preview of the mail ....

If a attacker compose a new mail with html or javascript code in mail
body & send it to victim´s the code is executed wen Victim´s click in the
extension to view a preview of mail.

So for exploit we need to compose a "special" mail
for example if we put directly in the mail body a iframe like
"><iframe src="javascript:alert(location.href);"></iframe>
the extension shows this code in plain text and the alert isn´t executed...
them we need to use a Feature from gmail ( auto conver links in clicable urls)
them we can compose a email body with a http link like
http://"><iframe src="javascript:alert(location.href);"></iframe>
or compose a mail link like :
lalala@"><iframe src="javascript:alert(location.href);"></iframe>.com
in the two cases the alert is executed wen try to preview the email
with the extension it is executed in context location.href value is
"about:blank"


Gmail is a safe place , but the extensions to manage it, can be a potential
vector to attack.

For example send a email With a logout acction in gmail in body
http://"><iframe src="https://mail.google.com/mail/?logout&hl=es"></iframe>
it closes the sesion on gmail , this is a CSRF.
also if the user has mark option to show notifications on desktop this issue execute the iframe too in the desktop notifications window and can cause to a denial of service of extension, for example if the victim´s try to change any option in options page from extension

So we have dispute it in http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=45401
