Agent Browser

Security checks across static analysis, malware telemetry, and agentic risk

Overview

This is a coherent browser-automation skill; it documents powerful web-control and login-state features, but the provided artifacts do not show hidden or deceptive behavior.

This skill appears purpose-aligned for browser automation, but only install it if you trust the external agent-browser package. Be careful when using it on logged-in websites, and protect any saved auth.json or cookie/storage files because they may grant access to your accounts.

ASI02: Tool Misuse and Exploitation
Low
What this means

An agent using this skill could interact with websites on the user's behalf, including forms or account pages.

Why it was flagged

The skill enables direct browser interactions such as clicking, typing, and submitting, which is central to its purpose but can change web account state if used on sensitive sites.

Skill content
agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"
agent-browser press "Enter"
Recommendation

Use it with clear user intent, and require explicit confirmation before purchases, account changes, postings, or other irreversible web actions.

#
ASI03: Identity and Privilege Abuse
Medium
What this means

A saved auth state file may let someone access the same logged-in browser session if the file is exposed.

Why it was flagged

Saving and loading cookies/storage is disclosed and useful for browser sessions, but those files can contain authentication material for logged-in accounts.

Skill content
agent-browser state save auth.json        # Save cookies/storage
agent-browser state load auth.json        # Load (skip login)
Recommendation

Store auth state files securely, avoid sharing them, and only load state files from trusted sources and intended accounts.

ASI04: Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Low
What this means

The reviewed skill text does not include the package code, so installation depends on the trustworthiness of the external npm package and downloaded browser components.

Why it was flagged

The skill is instruction-only and asks users to install an external, unpinned global npm package and browser dependencies that were not included in the scanned artifact set.

Skill content
npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install                     # Download Chromium
agent-browser install --with-deps         # Linux: + system deps
Recommendation

Install from the official package/source you trust, review package provenance when possible, and avoid running system dependency installation unless needed.
