browser-use web-ui versions 2.0.0 through 3.0.0 write configured LLM API keys to disk in cleartext without encryption or access restrictions. Attackers with read access to the temporary settings directory can recover provider API keys from predictably-named JSON files.
AnalysisAI

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local user account with read access to the filesystem path where browser-use web-ui stores its settings JSON files. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N reflects the limited blast radius accurately: exploitation requires local filesystem access with at minimum low-privilege credentials, ruling out remote unauthenticated attack. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version has been independently confirmed at time of analysis; the primary reference is a GitHub issue report (https://github.com/browser-use/web-ui/issues/736) rather than a tagged release containing a fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
