Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill clearly installs and documents a Chrome browser automation tool, with real browser-control risks but no evidence of hidden or malicious behavior.

Install this only if you want an agent to control Chrome for testing or automation. Prefer a dedicated test browser profile or headless session, avoid using it with sensitive logged-in accounts, disable telemetry options if desired, and consider pinning the npm package version instead of using @latest.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
84% confidence
Finding
The skill description is broad enough to match many generic browsing, testing, debugging, and form-filling requests, which can cause over-invocation of a high-impact browser-control skill. Because the skill enables live browser manipulation, broad triggering increases the chance it is used in sensitive contexts such as authenticated sessions, internal apps, or pages containing confidential data.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
This skill provides full browser control, page-script execution, file upload, network inspection, and access to live authenticated browser state, yet the description does not prominently warn about these high-impact capabilities. In practice, that can lead users or orchestrators to underestimate the risk of exposing secrets, interacting with sensitive sites, or executing actions on behalf of the user.
