void FrameLoader::clear(Document* newDocument, bool clearWindowProperties, bool clearScriptObjects, bool clearFrameView)
{
m_frame.editor().clear();
if (!m_needsClear)
return;
m_needsClear = false;
if (m_frame.document()->pageCacheState() != Document::InPageCache) {
...
m_frame.document()->prepareForDestruction(); <<-------- (a)
if (hadLivingRenderTree)
m_frame.document()->removeFocusedNodeOfSubtree(*m_frame.document());

}
FrameLoader::clear is called when page navigation is made and it does:
1. clear the old document at (b).
2. attach the new window object at (c).
If a new page navigation is made at (a), the new window will not attached due to |m_needsClear| check. As a result, the new document's script will be execute on the old window object.
PoC will reproduce to steal |secret_key| value from another origin(data:text/html,...).
