Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the even-skins-are-dangerous-now dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Secunia.com has announced an exploit (derived from xml escaping the Internet zone into IE's local zone) that exploits Winamp's habit of automatically installing skins. Currently all versions of Winamp are affected. Details on the Winamp forums - apparently an exploit is already in the wild, and spreading."

    ...Coz I use XMMS for my MP3 and FLAC goodness. Mind you it is supposed to be able to use WinAmp skins...

    I used to be a big fan of Winamp...but then I switched to iTunes and never looked back. Guess that's a good thing.
