A great many websites have this running:
https://publicwww.com/websites/%22static.addtoany.com%22/3
being worked through Cloudflare cloud-service: https://www.shodan.io/host/104.22.71.197
B-grade scan: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?&hideResults=on&d=static.addtoany.com

Why it'd better be blocked: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/104.22.70.197/relations

A random example of such a website ith static.addtoany.com script follows here, e.g.:
wXw.mycoronadiet.com

Also one engine to alert this a a PHISHing site: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/0cdde3aa391f831d294c28e62fe23d2ce0cffc54302d5fefa5076531f873f44c/detection

When we scan the http:// version of that site against DOm-XSS sinks and sources,
we get for the main site: Number of sources found: 14
Number of sinks found: 122

But we also stumble upon -https://www.kurapica.net/  &  -https://yourcreditjeweler.net/ & -https://interine.net
last two cannot be reached! (What is going on there at ASTRALUS in the Netherlands/Leaseweb related?).

Furthermore we get: Results from scanning URL: -https://www.mycoronadiet.com/wp-includes/js/imagesloaded.min.js?ver=3.2.0
Number of sources found: 0
Number of sinks found: 3

Results from scanning URL: -https://www.mycoronadiet.com/wp-includes/js/masonry.min.js?ver=3.3.2
Number of sources found: 0
Number of sinks found: 2

Results from scanning URL: -https://www.mycoronadiet.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js?ver=5.1.7
Number of sources found: 4
Number of sinks found: 8

Results from scanning URL: -https://www.mycoronadiet.com/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/assets/js/navigation.js?ver=20161203
Number of sources found: 17
Number of sinks found: 2 

etc. etc.
