Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS] (LOW): The skill requires a global installation of
agent-browservia npm and the subsequent download of Chromium. - Evidence:
npm install -g agent-browserandagent-browser installare listed as prerequisites in both README.md and SKILL.md. - Trust Status: The 'vercel-labs' organization is a trusted source, downgrading this specific finding to LOW.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION] (HIGH): The skill facilitates the execution of numerous shell commands to interact with a browser daemon.
- Evidence: Commands such as
agent-browser click,agent-browser fill, andagent-browser openare primary functionalities described in SKILL.md. - Risk: If an agent is tricked into executing these with malicious parameters (e.g., clicking a 'Delete' button or navigating to a phishing site), the impact is significant.
- [PROMPT_INJECTION] (HIGH): The skill is highly vulnerable to Indirect Prompt Injection (Category 8) because it processes untrusted external data (websites).
- Ingestion points:
agent-browser snapshotreads the accessibility tree of any URL the agent visits. - Boundary markers: None. There are no instructions or delimiters to help the agent distinguish between its instructions and the text found on a website.
- Capability inventory: The skill has full 'write' capabilities in the browser context, including
click,fill,type, and navigation. - Sanitization: None. The accessibility tree/JSON output is passed directly to the AI agent.
- Severity: HIGH. The combination of reading external content and possessing interactive capabilities allows a website to essentially 'command' the agent via the browser UI.
- [CREDENTIALS_UNSAFE] (MEDIUM): The skill supports the use of persistent browser profiles and custom headers, which are likely to contain session cookies or authentication tokens.
- Evidence: Documentation for
--profile <path>and--headers <json>in SKILL.md. - Risk: While not hardcoded, the skill facilitates the exposure of these sensitive assets to the agent's logic and potentially to the web pages it interacts with.
