I also agree. I think this exploit is just taking advantage of a function that CoolReader has always had. For instance, if an FB2 file is enclosed in a ZIP archive and named something.fb2.zip CoolReader will first unzip the ZIP file and then read the FB2 contents. CoolReader can also run Linux shell scripts in a similar manner. So something.epub.fb2 is just building on that tradition now that CoolReader 3 can read EPUB files.
