It won't work today, but was this really so improbable in the past? There was a time when jQuery was so ubiquitous to be almost a "de-facto standard" at it also had a "canonical url" to load from (per version at least). Why would it have been so improbable that a user visited two or more sites that used the same jQuery version and also included it from the canonical url?
- antifa 2y agoThere were multiple free public CDNs, multiple versions of jQuery, cache evictions happen much faster than you're thinking, users had less RAM and disk in the past. I can only imagine "naturally" producing this scenario by browsing HN in 2010 and clicking every link on the front-page and hoping at least 2 were indie blogs or startups that don't take security seriously, and even then if they're not consecutive, the website between them would have likely evicted the cache.
