    Has pure HTML (no css, no javascript) ever had a serious security issue? On the server side obviously not (outside of the apache/nginx/etc. having application bugs), but even on the client side has there ever been an exploit?

      I think there’s been one or two image decompression exploits over the years, so a site with a malicious file could end up running code on your system. I remember this being an issue with Minecraft clients and player skins at one point, but I can’t remember any specific times this happened in browsers tho.
