Spotify allows anybody to add music tracks. Is it possible to get infected by malware from these random tracks added by unknown users?

infections require an executable (or script ran by existing high permission executable)

WEBM AND PDF ARE NOT executable BUT are viewed by exploitable executables.

EXECUTION is what you want to avoid.
