Hi Daniel Lorch and the rest of Bugtraq, it seems like Winamp staff just fixed the problem at server level to correctly filter out/convert html tags. Nice to see they so quickly adressed the problem. Less than 30 minutes? I want to thank Wolfgang Schemmel MfG thE_iNviNciblE for confirming the vulnerability and giving info. Daniel Lorch, I am very curious about the "ID3v1 URL Comment support" you are talking about. Can you show that it's still a feature in Winamp? According to some sites I searched the feature is achieved by adding: "!/URL" or "^/URL" in the comment field of the ID3v1 tag. Am I wrong? But it didn't work for me. If it should work I think it is a very dangerous feature. Specially given all the vulnerabilites in IE recently. (cookie bug etc...)
