The extension and the data in it are running in a sandboxed environment provided by the browser's API, which means webpages and other extensions are not able to access its local data whether encrypted or decrypted.
However, if your computer is compromised and someone has access to your RAM and/or hard drive, they will be able to read the decrypted information.
Your Master Password is not stored anywhere on your computer so it will remain safe, but a decrypted app/extension are vulnerable to direct access of a compromised system.
