Webkitgtk is very actively researched and exploited for security
problems. If this use of webkitgtk-2.4 would ever handle untrusted
input, it's not very safe. I don't use Emacs so I'm not sure what the
use case is for webkitgtk.
For examples, you can check the security advisories published by the
Webkitgtk team:
https://webkitgtk.org/news.html
They publish an advisory after every release, and there are always
several fixed bugs allowing code execution by whoever supplies the input
(typically from a remote web server).
