Overview

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: agent-browser-clawdbot-bak-2026-01-28t18-01-09-10-30 Version: 1.0.0 The skill provides extensive capabilities for headless browser automation, including navigating to arbitrary URLs, extracting data (text, HTML, cookies, local storage), saving/loading browser state to/from files, and intercepting/modifying network requests. While these are standard features for a browser automation tool and the `SKILL.md` does not contain explicit malicious instructions, these powerful capabilities (e.g., file system interaction via `state save/load`, network control, and data extraction from any website) present a significant risk if the agent were to be compromised or instructed to perform unauthorized actions, thus classifying it as suspicious.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If used on a logged-in or sensitive site, the agent could click buttons, submit forms, or alter page/network behavior.

Why it was flagged

The skill exposes browser interaction and network-control commands; these are core to its purpose, but they can change website or application state.

Skill content
agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"
agent-browser network route "**/ads/*" --abort
Recommendation

Use it only for intended sites and require explicit user approval before purchases, submissions, admin changes, or other high-impact web actions.

What this means

Saved state files may allow future browser sessions to act as the logged-in user if the files are reused or exposed.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents saving/loading cookies and storage and reading cookies, which can preserve authenticated sessions.

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

Keep auth state files private, avoid loading unknown state files, and use separate low-privilege accounts where possible.

What this means

The safety of runtime behavior depends on the external CLI package and its installed dependencies.

Why it was flagged

The setup relies on a user-installed external npm package and downloaded browser dependencies, while no package code is bundled in the reviewed artifacts.

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

Install from a trusted source, consider pinning a known version, and review the package/homepage before granting it access to important sessions.
