Security audit

Browserless

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

The Browserless skill is coherent, but its setup instructions ask users to run unverified internet installer scripts directly, so it should be reviewed before installation.

Review this skill before installing. The normal Browserless actions are narrowly scoped, but do not run the listed installer commands unless you trust OOMOL's installer source and delivery path; prefer a signed or version-pinned package, checksum verification, or manually inspecting the downloaded installer first.

Vulnerability Patterns
  • Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
  • Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
  • Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
  • Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
  • Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

External Script Fetching

High
Category
Supply Chain
Confidence
95% confidence
Finding

The skill instructs the agent/user to install software by piping a remotely fetched script directly into a shell (curl ... | bash). This creates a supply-chain and remote code execution risk because any compromise of the hosting domain, transport chain, or installer script would immediately execute arbitrary code on the target system without review.
