          "2025-11-24, -4. In the second Sha1-Hulud wave, malicious versions of five Browserbase npm packages were published, @browserbasehq/stagehand 3.0.4 and @browserbasehq/mcp 2.1.1 at 12:56 UTC, plus @browserbasehq/mcp-server-browserbase 2.4.2, @browserbasehq/sdk-functions 0.0.4 and @browserbasehq/bb9 1.2.21. GitHub malware advisories (GHSA-mmp7-557c-74pq, GHSA-j9hg-hmwf-9qx7) say any machine that installed one should be treated as fully compromised. The versions are gone from npm and a clean Stagehand 3.0.5 followed at 17:58 UTC, but we found no advisory or post-mortem from Browserbase. Missed by the 1 and 6 October checks. Fixed and nearly eleven months old, so -4, one more than PostHog got for the same wave with a published post-mortem (https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2025-191198, https://osv.dev/vulnerability/MAL-2025-191195)."

The hosted MCP setup page passes the API key as `?browserbaseApiKey=` in the URL.\n\n**Pomerado.** An agent can find and run 46 public read-only website tools with no account, and signed-in calls get scoped, expiring keys, idempotency keys and a documented code for every failure. Pomerado is 12 days old, with no status page or security.txt, and its homepage lists bank and government portals that its builds refuse.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Browserbase\n\n1. Use x402.browserbase.com when you have a wallet and no key. Terminate the session to get unused minutes refunded\n2. Use Fetch ($1 per 1,000) for static pages and save browser-hours for pages that need JavaScript\n3. Close sessions explicitly. Each session bills at least one minute, and idle ones keep billing\n4. Set `recordSession` and `logSession` to false when pages hold personal data, and pass `allowedDomains` to keep a session on known sites\n5. On 429, wait `retry-after` seconds before creating another session\n\n### Pomerado\n\n1. Try public read-only tools at https://mcp.pomerado.ai/mcp/keyless, then use `sign_in` and reconnect at /mcp with the key for writes, logins and builds\n2. Call `find_website_tool` with a query and `site_url`, and check `possible_matches` before starting a build\n3. Send an `idempotency_key` with every run that writes, and on `outcome_unknown` read the website back before calling again\n4. Give the person the job's `answer_url` for website logins and codes. Don't take passwords in chat\n5. Save a run's result when it arrives. It is returned once and erased after 60 minutes if unread\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Browserbase or Pomerado?\n\nBrowserbase scores 72.2 (BB) on agent readiness against Pomerado's 62.6 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
