Security Notes

The server uses Puppeteer to perform browser automation, which involves executing JavaScript within a browser sandbox. It utilizes flags like `--no-sandbox`, `--disable-web-security`, and `--disable-features=IsolateOrigins,site-per-process`. While `--no-sandbox` is common in containerized environments, `--disable-web-security` reduces the browser's internal security posture, potentially increasing the risk of client-side exploits if navigating to malicious user-supplied URLs. However, the browser is typically sandboxed from the host system, and no direct `eval` or hardcoded secrets are present in the server's Node.js context. User-provided URLs for content extraction are opened in the automated browser.
