You mean this one? https://theori.io/blog/a-deep-dive-into-v8-sandbox-escape-te...

I dunno, one sandbox escape in nine years is a pretty solid track record IMO.

Any reason WASM is more dangerous than regular JavaScript?

No. This one. [0].

Even before that, there are several other sandbox escapes that predated the one you posted. [1] [2] and this one [3] can be used to trivially escape its sandbox with either of these vulnerabilities.

So it is not the magical silver bullet one may easily think it is.
