TL;DR

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass due to an insecure default configuration where the disable_security flag was set to True, which disables key browser security features like Same-Origin Policy and Content Security Policy (CSP). An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into visiting a malicious webpage, which could then execute arbitrary commands on the machine by abusing the exposed Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) connection, potentially leading to a complete compromise of the system.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.

Background info

browser-use is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in versions 0.1.0 - 0.1.40.
