Security Recommendations for browser-use

Eliminate dynamic code execution
browser-use evaluates code at runtime (for example eval or dynamic exec). Remove dynamic evaluation of untrusted input, and where code generation is unavoidable, sandbox it and validate every input.
Fix ReDoS-prone patterns
browser-use contains regular expressions vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking (ReDoS). Replace vulnerable patterns, bound input length, and prefer linear-time matching so a crafted input cannot hang the agent.
Add a config.json permissions manifest
A config.json file declares what an agent component can access: file system, network, shell execution and more. Without it, users have no visibility into what the component can do before installing. This is the single most impactful security improvement for any AI agent skill.
