Full Analysis
- Indirect Prompt Injection (HIGH): The skill is designed to ingest untrusted data by navigating to external websites. Because it possesses high-privilege capabilities like script execution and form interaction, it is highly vulnerable to adversarial content on those pages.
- Ingestion points:
navigate_page(external HTML content),list_console_messages(untrusted logs), andlist_network_requests(untrusted headers/responses). - Boundary markers: No delimiters or safety instructions are used to distinguish between system instructions and page content.
- Capability inventory: Includes
evaluate_script(JS execution),click/fill_form(interaction), andtake_screenshot/get_network_request(data exfiltration). - Sanitization: No evidence of sanitization or content filtering for processed web data.
- Dynamic Execution (HIGH): The
evaluate_scripttool allows for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript code. This creates a direct path for Remote Code Execution (RCE) within the browser context if the input is manipulated via indirect injection. - Data Exfiltration (HIGH): The skill provides tools to inspect sensitive network traffic (
get_network_request) and capture visual data (take_screenshot). This could be abused to steal session tokens, cookies, or sensitive information from other open tabs or internal sites. - External Downloads (HIGH): The installation instructions recommend
npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest, which downloads and executes code from a non-whitelisted source at runtime. While the tool appears legitimate, this pattern is inherently high-risk in an agentic context. - Privilege Escalation (MEDIUM): The
navigate_pagetool could potentially be used to access local system files via thefile://protocol if the Chrome instance is not properly sandboxed, leading to unauthorized sensitive file exposure.
