Since there are so many valid characters for email addresses, are there any valid email addresses that can in themselves be XSS attacks or SQL injections? I cou
Spaces are allowed if they are enclosed in quotes, however, so "'OR 1=1--"@gmail.com
is a valid e-mail address. Also, it's probably less of a concern, but technically speaking, these are both valid e-mail addresses:
' BAD SQL STUFF --
fake@ryanbrunner.com (' BAD SQL STUFF --)
Even if this wasn't possible, there's still no reason that you shouldn't be using paramaterized queries and encoding all user-inputted data displayed to users.
