Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
This PR focuses on security hardening across the BrowserOS agent/server (reducing outbound data leakage, adding encryption at rest, and tightening filesystem/server exposure) while also integrating scheduled task run history UX improvements and adding a New Tab entrypoint.
Changes:
- Added workspace path traversal protection via
resolveSafePathand applied it to filesystem tools. - Introduced encryption for sensitive data (server OAuth tokens, agent LLM provider secrets, agent conversations) and disabled several cloud/3rd-party data exfil paths (PostHog, conversation upload, voice transcription upload, search suggestions, Google favicon service).
- Improved scheduled task results UX (grouping + per-run delete + clear all) and added New Tab app entrypoint.

This PR addresses critical vulnerability #1033 by implementing robust data encryption at rest. API keys and OAuth tokens are now secured using AES-256-GCM (Web Crypto API for Agent, Node.js crypto for Server). The implementation includes a transparent migration layer, ensuring that existing plaintext data is safely encrypted during the first write operation without disrupting user experience. |
