The thing with this vulnerability is that it is just an XSS. It has nothing to do with Google apart from the fact they don't run GoogleBot using a recent version of Chrome. The other thing is that if I understand correctly, this could

From what I have read this is a common thing to do especially to get some "advanced" features w/o having to pay an arm and a leg for a higher end pump. There are even insulin pump firmware online.
