Browser Bridge gives coding agents structured access to a real browser profile. The daemon, native messaging host, Chrome extension, CLI, and MCP server are all part of the trusted path between an agent and the user's browser, so security reports are taken seriously.
Only the latest version published to npm (@browserbridge/bbx) and the Chrome Web Store
receives security fixes. Older versions are not patched retroactively; upgrade to the
latest release before reporting.
Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.
Report privately via GitHub's security advisory form: https://github.com/koltyakov/browser-bridge/security/advisories/new
Include the affected component (daemon, native host, extension, CLI, MCP server), a reproduction, and the impact you believe it has. Reports are acknowledged as quickly as possible; fixes for confirmed vulnerabilities are prioritized over regular development.
In scope:
- The bridge daemon: transport auth (socket permissions, TCP auth token), request routing, and the opt-in proxy/remote mode.
- The native messaging host and its manifest installation.
- The Chrome extension (MV3 service worker, content scripts, CDP usage).
- The
bbxCLI and MCP server, including config/skill installation paths.
Out of scope:
- Vulnerabilities in Chrome, Node.js, or other dependencies (report upstream).
- Issues requiring an already-compromised machine or browser profile.
- The inherent capability of the tool itself: an agent authorized to use Browser Bridge can, by design, read and manipulate pages in the connected browser profile. See PRIVACY.md and docs/agent-permissions.md for the intended trust model.
- By default the daemon listens on a user-owned Unix socket (mode
0700directory) or, on Windows, a named pipe / localhost TCP. - Any TCP listener requires a random 256-bit auth token stored with mode
0600; registration without it is rejected and the comparison is constant-time. - Proxy mode (LAN exposure) is opt-in via
bbx proxy enableand always provisions a token; an invalidbindHostin the config rejects the config rather than widening the bind address.
