OK, I'll bite.  Why are file:// URLs relevant to the discussion?


It allows arbitrary data to be passed to CMD.EXE, without first owning the system.


You're telling me that a web page I view in IE can do this?

cmd.exe /K del /F /Q /S C:\*

Forgive my skepticism.  Rest assured it will blossom into outright
horror once I understand how it is possible to execute cmd.exe from an
HTML document.
