In a YouTube first, a user has managed to embed a non-standard YouTube flash player. While searching for videos, I stumbled upon this oddity. In the capture below, the embedded player shows a TV with a circulating object and can be repeated by rewinding the movie.
In the past few years that I’ve used YouTube, I’ve never witnessed such a thing. It’s apparent that the user identified an unknown exploit within YouTube’s codebase to achieve this. The only question remaining is, how?
A gimmick at best, it should also be a cause for concern due to the nature of this exploit.
