Unite provides a mechanism by which media files can be sent directly to the computer and played automatically. Through this widget, an infected file could be sent directly to the target computer and executed, resulting in a possible automatic infection. In the case of a zero-day exploit, Unite could become a new means of distributing malicious code to a large base of completely unprotected computers.
