13499+
13500+
This specification defines a conversion layer between JavaScript and IDL values. An incorrect
13501+
implementation of this layer can lead to security issues.
13502+
13503+
This specification also provides the ability to use JavaScript values directly, through the
13504+
{{any}} and {{object}} IDL types. These values need to be handled carefully to avoid security
13505+
issues. In particular, user script can run in response to nearly any manipulation of these values,
13506+
and invalidate the expectations of specifications or implementations using them.
13507+
13508+
This specification makes it possible to interact with {{SharedArrayBuffer}} objects, which can be
13509+
used to build timing attacks. Specifications that use these objects need to consider such attacks.
