| In theory, yes, a malicious website could connect to edex's internal websocket connection via client-side javascript, and get terminal access. |

In theory, yes, a malicious website could connect to edex's internal websocket connection via client-side javascript, and get terminal access.
In practice however, the internal websocket server only accepts one connection so the website has very limited time to try to connect before edex's own frontend does.
