What happens if you untaint the email address?

Not what I was expecting to happen!!!
I was pretty sure that untainting the email address would have the same effect as turning off taint mode but it doesn't.

This code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -T use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use warnings; use strict; use feature 'say'; use Scalar::Util qw/tainted/; use DBI; use DBI::Const::GetInfoType; my @argv; if ($ENV{'GATEWAY_INTERFACE'}) { @argv = split /&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; } else { @argv = @ARGV; } my $db_user = 'xxx'; my $db_pass = 'xxx'; my $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:database=shoples1_testing;host=127.0.0.1", $db_user, $db_pass, { RaiseError=>1, AutoCommit=>1, TaintIn=>0 }); print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; say "Perl: $]"; say "Database: ", $dbh->get_info( $GetInfoType{SQL_DBMS_NAME} ), " ", $dbh->get_info( $GetInfoType{SQL_DBMS_VER} ); say "Driver: ", $dbh->{Driver}->{Name}; say "DBI Ver: ", $DBI::VERSION; say "DBD::mysql Ver: ", $DBD::mysql::VERSION; $dbh->do('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Person'); $dbh->do(<<'ENDSQL'); CREATE TABLE Person ( idPerson INT, email VARCHAR(256), altEmail VARCHAR(256) ); ENDSQL $dbh->do('INSERT INTO Person (idPerson, email, altEmail) VALUES (5, ?, + "foo@bar.com");', undef, $argv[1]); die "run me with an empty string as the first argument" unless @argv && !length $argv[0]; my %data = ( email => $argv[1] ); say "Email is tainted" if tainted($data{'email'}); say "Tainted..."; say "EMAIL: $argv[1]"; if ($argv[1] =~ /^(.+\@.+\..+)$/) { $argv[1] = $1; say "Untainted..."; say "EMAIL: $argv[1]"; } my $query = $dbh->prepare("SELECT idPerson FROM Person WHERE email = ? + OR altEmail = ?"); $query->execute($data{'email'}, $data{'email'}); my ($crid) = $query->fetchrow_array; say "CRID: $crid"; my ($test) = $dbh->selectrow_array("SELECT idPerson FROM Person WHERE +email = ? OR altEmail = ?", undef, $data{'email'}, $data{'email'}); say "TEST: $test"; __END__
produces this with taint mode off:
Perl: 5.016003 Database: MySQL 10.2.39-MariaDB Driver: mysql DBI Ver: 1.643 DBD::mysql Ver: 4.050 Tainted... EMAIL: foo@bar.com Untainted... EMAIL: foo@bar.com CRID: 5 TEST: 5
and this with taint mode on:
Perl: 5.016003 Database: MySQL 10.2.39-MariaDB Driver: mysql DBI Ver: 1.643 DBD::mysql Ver: 4.050 Email is tainted Tainted... EMAIL: foo@bar.com Untainted... EMAIL: foo@bar.com CRID: 5 TEST: 0

I realise the regexp is not especially good but it is just for testing and does the job of untainting the email address. The extra say statements are added to prove that the emails address really is being untainted.
