This is a misunderstanding. Crosswalk itself only needs a very limited
set of permissions regarding network access in order to run. But the
default crosswalk AndroidManifest.xml adds a few more regarding webcam
and the like, such that trying various examples is easy.
We will make it more clear, and also advise downstream integrators,
that the default set of permissions is not the minimal one.

Even if you are not calling yourself a programmer, it is important to
understand the basic concepts of security and permissions when
publishing software. I would very much suggest to read up on the
relevant documentation¹ and familiarise yourself with how they are
handled in the XDK or any other tools you are using. For a basic app
with network access, try starting with the following set of
permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Don't hesitate to ask if you have additional question.
Best,
Rob
