I submitted a remote code execution to the browser-use about 40 days ago. GHSA-r2x7-6hq9-qp7v
I am a bit stunned by the lack of response. Any safety concerns in this project?
That's pretty good, I've achieved pretty much the same thing using the vercel's agent-browser, but I've tried playwright and it worked easily as good. Its good for scraping, automating stuff in the browser.
agent-browser uses playwright so it struggles with things like cross-origin-iframes - on the other hand, browser harness uses raw cdp, which is unrestrictive. It's discussed in this blog post! https://browser-use.com/posts/bitter-lesson-agent-harnesses
> The new paradigm? SKILL.md + a few python helpers that need to have the ability to change on the fly. [...] What would you call this new paradigm? A dialect?
It's called "agentic coding" for all I know, and isn't a new paradigm, the whole purpose with agentic coding is that it uses tools to do their thing, then those tools could be structured as the good old JSON schema tools next to the implemented runtime, or as MCP, or HTTP API or whatever, the "paradigm" is the same: Have a harness, have a LLM, let the harness define tools that the LLM can use those.
Any agent that accepts "work in this working directory" (which AFAIK, all of them do) have had this ability, even the initial GPT2/3 experiments around matching LLMs with primitive tool-calling.

Anyway, of course this will be superseded by a harness that provides freedom to complete any task within the OS.
2. Can you publish a tabular comparison on your README?
3. What information gets sent to your API server?

There's still plenty that Browser-Use could improve in terms of stealthiness.
We didn't detect it using CDP (good!) but can still detect that it is Browser-Use.
