AFAIU, the fix of lilypond-invoke-editor is not merged. I still have this:
~~~
(define (run-browser uri)
(system
(if (getenv "BROWSER")
(format #f "~a ~a" (getenv "BROWSER") uri)
(format #f "firefox -remote 'OpenURL(~a,new-tab)'" uri))))

More conservative parsing of textedit URIs
Also contains commits:
Let get-editor use shell-quote-argument
Addresses security concerns.
(editor scm): Add shell-quote-argument function
This is mostly stolen from Emacs.
I have no idea how to properly test this or whether it runs at all.

*Initial issue for this Tracker (replace by the info above):
*Fix security problem in lilypond-invoke-editor
If lilypond-invoke-editor was installed as a general
uri-helper it was easy to abuse it to execute arbitrary
code on an attacked system for non-textedit URIs.
This part of the problem was discovered and reported
to our bug-lilypond mailing list by Gabriel Corona.
But also pure textedit URIs were vulnerable, an
example is the URI
textedit:///:&xterm -e find ~/&:x:
that executes "find ~/" in a xterm.
With this patch lilypond-invoke-editor only
handles textedit URIs, and it does no longer
use the systems command processor but
guiles system* procedure for those URIs.
Also the script will abort if the line, char and
column fields of a textedit URI contain anything
but digits.
We could have fixed URI passing to the browser,
but it is not our job to provide a general URI helper.
Other software (e.g. xdg-open and friends) should
be used for that.
The security problem fixed now was introduced
into lilypond in the year 2005.
