6) Security restrictions bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU60395
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

and subsequently appended an element to the iframe's document that e.g.
had a JavaScript event handler - the event handler would have run
despite the iframe's sandbox.
