Can someone please explain how this hack works? (I am CS major so I know basic stuff but not a hacker)

It uses WebAssembly VM bug to get arbitrary memory address write/read capability within Chromium sandbox.

The actual bug is much before this though, WASM is just used to get a RWX page of memory, as v8 won't give JS that the other side of the JIT process.
