pdp shows QuickTime Media Link (.qtl) XML accepts a qtnext attribute holding any URL, javascript: included, and QuickTime honours the file whatever its extension, so a .mp3, .mp4 or .m4a can be XML that runs script. With iTunes installed any mp3 link opens the QuickTime plugin. The code lands in about:blank, which he wrongly speculates is privileged.
