For instance if I type "firefox 'http://google.com http://google.com'" in my terminal my already-running firefox instance loads the URL in a new tab, so I assume that some kind of IPC is used behind the scenes to ask the main instance to load the URL. Of course that's harder to exploit nefariously than spawning wget from the same process but when there's a will there's a way...
