There is a tox plugin for pidgin in tox-overlay.

I'm talking about the following research:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blackhat.com%2Fpresentations%2Fbh-europe-06%2Fbh-eu-06-biondi%2Fbh-eu-06-biondi-up.pdf&ei=9jAPVJH1AafnygOOiIHgDg&usg=AFQjCNHeILDYY4k-nUUw8vPmUCJ86Eywbg&bvm=bv.74649129,d.bGQ

Of course, skype protocol was likely changed since that time, but I
really doubt that functionality for remote execution of arbitrary
code was removed.
