That's not the biggest risk. The biggest risk is that a malicious actor stumbled upon this bug, realized they could trigger it with specially crafted HTML, then wrote a script to harvest the data, which would be private data from any website with an active session in memory on the shared proxy. In that case, the bigger websites are more likely to be affected, because high traffic means they're more likely to have data stored in memory at any given time.

If you think this is implausible, consider just one persona who could do this;

- Someone turns clouflare https service on their website

- They check their pages and see some random data in the middle of a <p> tag

- They reproduce the bug. Then they reproduce it again. Then they script it.

I understand and we have been and are mining data we have to look for that having happened.
