A comment on On VBScript.

It feels like the language got too much features and then the model got so complicated that devs could no longer correctly reason about it. I would suspect that such errors are less likely in a simple language like lisp.

Did similar exploits happen in JavaScript?

"simple language like lisp"

I guess some lisps might be simple but I wouldn't call Common Lisp simple!

JavaScript is not hard to reason about.
