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?

#221. Can you elaborate on the self healing?
2. Can you publish a tabular comparison on your README?
3. What information gets sent to your API server?
I'm struggling to see why I should use this over agent-browser; I have not yet run into the "cross origin iframes" problem. Is this more for the 'claw crowd?

PW is usually easier to detect. Using raw CDP is in our opinion much better for this.
We published a survey of stealth browsers just yesterday https://botforensics.com/blog/stealth-browser-survey-april-2... 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.
This is an advertisement that looks like a technical blogpost for a moment.

Is that correct? https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-r2x7-6hq9-qp7v returns a 404.

#26I was wondering when someone would finally build this. Anyway, of course this will be superseded by a harness that provides freedom to complete any task within the OS.
What about security? What if it goes of the rails and remove /root I.e.? Yes that would be crazy because only madman would do that.
Unless it would be airgapped no internet access machine with just monitor I.e.

#27Sawyer Hood's dev-browser[0] allows the browser to write playwright JS code directly. Do you have cases where his approach fails and yours works? [0] https://github.com/SawyerHood/dev-browser

So only a stealth advantage?

Hey! Where did you submit this exactly? Can you provide a link? Will ask others on the team also, but I am not sure what you are referring to.

IIUC the point is that the agent has the ability to modify itself? So one possible term could be "self-evolving" or "self-modifying agent".
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.
Fair, so let's do
s/has the ability to/is meant to

#30> Paste into Claude Code or Codex:
> Set up https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness for me.
> Read `install.md` first to install and connect this repo to my real browser. Then read `SKILL.md` for normal usage. Always read `helpers.py` because that is where the functions are. When you open a setup or verification tab, activate it so I can see the active browser tab. After it is installed, open this repository in my browser and, if I am logged in to GitHub, ask me whether you should star it for me as a quick demo that the interaction works — only click the star if I say yes. If I am not logged in, just go to browser-use.com.
Is the the new "curl {url} | sh"?
