Good news: the GnuCash developers are actively working make GnuCash
compatible with the latest version of webkitgtk (or to completely remove
the dependency):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751635
The other good news is that, apparently, GnuCash's use of webkit is
relatively insulated from security issues:
"GnuCash isn't affected by WebKit vulnerabilities, WebKit is used
exclusively to render HTML and interpret Javascript both created by
GnuCash itself."
