Gemini Computer Use

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill does what it claims: it runs a Gemini-powered browser automation loop, but users should know browser screenshots and URLs are sent to Gemini.

Install only if you are comfortable with a third-party Gemini model seeing the browser page, URL, and your prompt. Use a sandboxed browser profile, avoid logged-in or sensitive sites unless intentional, keep turn limits low, and use --exclude to block actions you do not want automated.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
97% confidence
Finding
The code captures a live browser screenshot and current URL after each action and sends both to the remote Gemini model as function responses. This can expose sensitive on-screen data, session state, internal URLs, or user-entered content without any explicit notice, consent flow, or redaction, which is especially risky in a browser-control agent handling arbitrary websites.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
98% confidence
Finding
The initial request sends both the user's prompt and a full browser screenshot to the external model immediately after page load, with no warning that page contents will leave the local environment. In a computer-use skill, screenshots may contain credentials, personal data, confidential documents, or authenticated application state, making silent transmission a real privacy and data-leak risk.
