Description

Normally, you can do something like this in the web worker:

addEventListener("message", (event) =>
{
    if (event.origin != self.origin && event.origin != "") return;
    // ...
});

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how workerpool handles message events in browsers, specifically whether it exposes event.origin. Trace the code path from worker creation to message reception.
