“Open Embed” features enabling rickrolling.

Very short post here, just something I came across and thought was funny.

While browsing Reddit, I came across this thread in which a user found a “feature” in the Omniplex website that enabled them to load any YouTube video in an iFrame on the site.

I decided to take a quick look, and one dirty google dork later (inurl:previewmovie.php?v), I had a few examples of this. Seems to be some CMS component that cinemas like using.

The “e” parameter, as well as the “v” parameter can take a YouTube video “ID”, and will create an embed on the page loading in the video.

Anyways, below is a gallery of a few “sneaky” rickroll links created using this:

I wonder what other things allow doing this…
