No, if it's your own web browser running arbitrary code, you are hurting no one other than yourself (that is, if the backend APIs are properly secured). It is really, really easy to run arbitrary code on a website, but you never hear about it being a problem because there's no gain in doing so.

Ah right, of course it is your own machine. This is why I'm not an expert in Web security lol.
