@agimon-ai/po-browse-tool@0.0.0-alpha.85
MCP server for browser automation using Playwright with profile management, page registry, and multi-browser support
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe browser automation and process execution match the package’s purpose, but its runtime initializes telemetry by default and logs browser page identifiers without a README disclosure. This is suspicious runtime telemetry, not evidence of credential theft or install-time abuse.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Starting the runtime that constructs the telemetry service; warnings are logged when session-view frame capture fails.
Impact
Browser-session identifiers and error metadata may be sent through runtime telemetry without disclosure or an opt-out documented in the README.
Mechanism
The service initializes its telemetry sink unless disabled, and the warning includes a page ID and error type. The inspected source delegates endpoint resolution and transmission to a telemetry dependency.
AI rationale
The browser automation and process execution match the package’s purpose, but its runtime initializes telemetry by default and logs browser page identifiers without a README disclosure. This is suspicious runtime telemetry, not evidence of credential theft or install-time abuse.
Evidence
dist/index.cjs
Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 79.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The package’s main and import entry points are dist/index.cjs and dist/index.mjs.
- On startup, the runtime enables logs unless OTEL_SDK_DISABLED is set and initializes the telemetry sink by default.
- A session-view warning log includes a browser page ID and error type; the README search found no telemetry disclosure.
Evidence against
- The package declares no lifecycle scripts, so the reviewed telemetry is runtime behavior rather than install-time contact.
- Process execution and browser networking support the package’s stated Playwright browser-automation purpose.
