Based on what I can tell, this bug just allows a persistent service worker to run forever by downloading a large file and not letting it complete? Security impact is pretty limited (but definitely not none).
It can make requests but only with no CORS, which could be useful for accessing some weakly secured HTTP resources behind a corporate VPN or something (in the same way any other site can but over a much longer period). It could also potentially be used for tracking user IP address activity, crypto mining, building a botnet, etc.
