headful-browser-vnc@2.0.0
CAUTION· static onlyPublisher claims: "Run a persistent Linux Chrome session with VNC/noVNC human takeover and capture an existing tab through CDP. Use for remote browser workflows that need manual login, MFA, or operator inspection followed by automation." Observed in sandbox: static analysis only — behavior not yet observed.
Coverage
Static only; nothing was run yet.The label rests on the code, the instruction files and the publisher. The honeypot run replaces this verdict when it completes.
Is [email protected] safe to install?
KillerSkills analysed it statically (a sandbox run is pending) on 2026-11-12 and scored it 51/100 (Caution). It is not known to be malicious, but it has behaviour or code a security policy should decide on before install. Notable findings: Privileged sudo command; Access to sensitive file paths; Access to sensitive file paths. Summary: static analysis only — behavior not yet observed.
