Browser Use 1.0.0

WarnAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

The skill is a coherent Browser Use integration, but it gives autonomous cloud browsers access to persisted login sessions with limited scoping or approval guidance.

Install only if you are comfortable letting Clawdbot and Browser Use control a cloud browser that may be logged into your accounts. Use a separate browser profile, avoid syncing personal cookies, keep the API key scoped and revocable, approve sensitive actions manually, and stop/delete sessions and profiles when finished.

What this means

A cloud browser controlled through this skill could access or act inside accounts already logged into the selected browser profile.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on both a provider API key and authenticated browser session state. Those privileges can let the agent create billable sessions and act as the user on sites where the profile is logged in.

Skill content
API Key is read from clawdbot config at `skills.entries.browser-use.apiKey` ... Use profiles to persist logins and cookies.
Recommendation

Use a dedicated Browser Use API key and a dedicated low-privilege browser profile. Avoid syncing personal Chrome cookies unless you explicitly want the cloud browser to use those sessions.

What this means

An imprecise prompt or unsafe webpage could lead the browser task to take unintended actions in logged-in services.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents an autonomous task agent that can operate a browser using an authenticated profile, but it does not define approval gates, allowed actions, allowed sites, or safeguards for high-impact actions.

Skill content
Run autonomous browser tasks - like a subagent that handles browser interactions for you. Give it a prompt and it completes the task. ... `profileId` | Use a profile for auth
Recommendation

Require explicit user approval before using authenticated profiles for purchases, account changes, messages, posts, deletions, or other irreversible actions. Prefer bounded prompts with `startUrl` and `maxSteps`.

What this means

If the browser control endpoint or configured profile is exposed or reused unexpectedly, other agent components may control the logged-in browser session.

Why it was flagged

The cloud browser control URL is passed into the gateway/browser tool configuration. The instructions do not specify how to protect, scope, rotate, or remove that control endpoint, which may control an authenticated browser session.

Skill content
gateway config.patch '{"browser":{"profiles":{"browseruse":{"cdpUrl":"<cdpUrl-from-response>"}}}}' ... Now use the `browser` tool with `profile=browseruse` to control it.
Recommendation

Treat CDP URLs as sensitive. Stop sessions when finished, remove stale gateway profiles, and avoid connecting profiles that contain sensitive logins unless necessary.
