Agent Browser Clawdbot Local

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

Overview

This is a clear browser-automation command guide, but it can handle web sessions and cookies and depends on an external npm tool the user should verify.

This skill appears purpose-aligned for browser automation. Before installing, verify the external agent-browser package, understand that saved auth files can grant account access, and require confirmation before the agent performs meaningful actions on logged-in websites.

Risk analysis

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

An agent using this skill could perform real actions on websites, such as submitting forms or changing account settings, if the user allows it.

Why it was flagged

The skill gives the agent direct browser interaction commands that can click, type, submit, and drag elements on arbitrary pages. This is central to the stated browser-automation purpose, but it can affect real websites if used while logged in.

Skill content
agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"
agent-browser press "Enter"
agent-browser drag @e7 @e8
Recommendation

Use it on intended sites only, and require explicit user approval before purchases, account changes, public posts, or other irreversible web actions.

What this means

Saved auth-state files may let someone access the same web session without re-entering a password.

Why it was flagged

The skill explicitly supports saving and loading browser cookies/storage to bypass repeated login flows. That is useful for automation, but the resulting file can carry account access.

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

Store auth files securely, avoid sharing them, delete them when no longer needed, and only load session state for accounts the agent is allowed to use.

What this means

Installing the external CLI gives that package and its browser runtime local execution capability.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on an external globally installed npm CLI and a browser download, while the reviewed package contains no code files or lockfile for that dependency. This is normal for an instruction-only wrapper, but the external tool is not reviewed here.

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

Verify the npm package and GitHub project, prefer a pinned/versioned install where possible, and install it only in an environment where browser automation is acceptable.
