>LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

>Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.

it can, other than all of the information it already leaks, js is just not secure
jit inherently comes with unsafe assumptions

linkedin isnt going to use those actual exploits though, since it would get them in a lot of trouble very quickly
