Browser Gemini Search

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill is a coherent Gemini browser-automation helper, but it reuses your live Chrome session so you should treat it as browser-control access.

Install only if you are comfortable letting the agent control your existing Chrome session for Gemini. Prefer a separate Chrome profile or close sensitive tabs before use, and only run it when you explicitly want Gemini browser automation.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
89% confidence
Finding
The activation text is broad enough to trigger on common browsing or search requests, which can cause the agent to take over the user's existing Chrome session unexpectedly. In this skill, that risk is amplified because it attaches to a live user profile and may interact with already-open tabs, creating a real chance of unintended actions or data exposure.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
96% confidence
Finding
The skill explicitly uses the user's existing Chrome session via a debug-attached profile, but it does not prominently warn that it will access and control that live session. This is dangerous because the browser context may contain authenticated tabs, sensitive content, and cross-site state, so users may unknowingly grant the agent broad access beyond a simple search action.
