Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The
browser-use pythoncommand allows for the execution of arbitrary Python statements within the agent's environment. This provides a vector for performing host-level operations entirely unrelated to browser automation. - [REMOTE_CODE_EXECUTION]: The skill facilitates dynamic code execution through
browser-use eval, which runs JavaScript in the browser context. Additionally, thebrowser-use profile updatecommand downloads and updates an external binary (profile-use) at runtime. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The
browser-use profile sync --allcommand transmits entire browser profiles to a cloud service. These profiles typically contain sensitive information, including authentication cookies, browsing history, and saved credentials. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill can expose local network services to the internet via the
browser-use tunnelcommand, which utilizes Cloudflare tunnels to create public URLs for local ports. - [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE]: The tool handles cloud API keys through
browser-use cloud loginand stores them in a local configuration file at~/.browser-use/config.json. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill is susceptible to indirect prompt injection as it ingests untrusted data from the web to drive its logic.
- Ingestion points: Web content retrieved via
browser-use open,browser-use state, andbrowser-use get html(SKILL.md). - Boundary markers: None identified; instructions do not provide delimiters or warnings to ignore instructions found within the processed web data.
- Capability inventory: Includes arbitrary Python execution (
browser-use python), file system modification (screenshot saving, cookie exporting), and network tunneling. - Sanitization: There is no mention of sanitizing or escaping web content before it is processed by the agent.
