The issue in question is just one of the several long-unfixed vulnerabilities we know about, from a library that doesn't have that many hands or eyes on it to begin with.

And why doesn’t Google contribute to fixing and maintaining code they use?

  • Because they don't want to use the code. They begrudgingly use it to support XSLT and now they don't use it.

    • Maintaining web standards without breaking backwards compatibility is literally what they signed up for when they decided to make a browser. If they didn't want to do that job, they shouldn't have made one.
