The x86css demonstrates complex computation in CSS alone. I can think of couple of interesting applications for this: Since computation is possible this could potentially be used to as a covert side-channel, even when JavaScript execution is disabled.

x86CSS

x86CSS is a working CSS-only x86 CPU/emulator/computer. No JavaScript required!

In addition, several apps and systems also allow uploading custom CSS since it "can't be malicious".

However, I bet there is a lot of limitations how the css can interact with anything else, limiting the impact.
