Guess it's time to restrict ECMAscript...
(Javascript was originally called Livescript and is now technically ECMAscript, it's utterly unrelated to Java)

One of the security features in Java is that Java only allows applets to connect back to the webserver they were launched from. This was done because Java is obviously rich enough to use to launch secondary exploits.

Guess it's time to add that restriction to ECMAscript.
