Given that we've seen security threats related to non-executable content, you
comment about server administration hits the nail on the head.
1. Vulnerabilities related to XML, DTD, XML-RPC and SOAP processing:

2. SQL injection vulnerabilities are epidemic.
3. MP3, WMA, AVI, PNG and JPEG have been exploited. The problem is often a
buffer overrun that can be exploited by constructing a file to cause the overrun
and allow malware to execute.
There's a worm that exploited a vulnerability in some Windows apps that read
JPEG images. One of the MP3 exploits uses an ID3 tag.
There have been vulnerabilities in media players (Flash Player, RealPlayer,
Windows Media Player, MPlayer).
