javascript: URLs - callbacks and/or policy. Possibly detecting malicious such scripts? #1090

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open any CEF-based browser (cefclient would do).
2. Type in address bar
  javascript:while(1) { document.write('lets kill this'); }
3. Freeze.

What is the expected output? 
CEF stopping/detecting infinite loop.

What do you see instead?
CEF freezes in script execution (WebCore, in fact).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
CEF (CEF1 1364, to be more precise) on Win7 x64. Not tested on CEF3.

Please provide any additional information below.
CEF should have a callback (LoadHandler?) that can be called before loading a 
javascript, either via address bar thru direct navigation, or using a HTML like
<html>
  <body>
    <a href="javascript:while(1) {document.write('lets kill this');}">JS infinite loop</a>
</body>
</html>

And/or this could be controller using some policy flags exposed in settings? 
(javascript_allow_javascript_url or so, mapping to policy corresponding 
ScriptController flags).
