We'd need more evidence this is actually a vulnerability and not an unexploitable access violation. In the browser we give hypothetical attackers a giant benefit of the doubt because the ability to run scripts inside the application gives an attacker the ability to "groom" memory and time the triggering of the vulnerability.

In the browser we give hypothetical attackers a giant benefit of the doubt because the ability to run scripts inside the application gives an attacker the ability to "groom" memory and time the triggering of the vulnerability. On top of that, there are millions of potential victims for browser bugs, not tens of CI environments running this tool.
