Fortunately, this was patched. Not sure if there are newer ones

in V8 in Google Chrome

Not surprisingly, it's another JS one.

I use JS whitelisting not only on my PCs for that reason.

The majority of Android devices will have updated Chrome and web view soon after the Chrome team released a fix.
