Sure, if the plugin developer sanitized the comments before inserting them, this wouldn't have happened _this way_, but having a browser engine two years outdated (for a reason which IMO is absolutely reasonable compared to other situations before) and having the Chromium sandbox completely disabled with nothing to substitute it is crazy in a software onto which people insert random plugins from the internet to get random functionality.
Hopefully those two changes ship fast to OBS. I may be supporting the project financially in the future if they update their security posture, as I'm generally very fond of OBS.
