I noticed that some javascript getters behave strangely.

My test code:

var whitelist = ["closed", "document", "frames", "length", "location", "opener", "parent", "self", "top", "window"];

var f = document.createElement("iframe");

f.onload = () => {
    f.onload = null;

    for (var x in window) {
        if (whitelist.indexOf(x) != -1)
            continue;

        try {
            window.__lookupGetter__(x).call(f.contentWindow);
            log(x);
        } catch (e) {

        }
    }

};

f.src = "https://abc.xyz/";
document.body.appendChild(f);

And after some plays, finally reached an UAF condition. PoC is attached. RIP will jump into the freed JIT code.

Tested on Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0.
