But it’s exposed to the client and did accept arbitrary values, right?

It's the handler that responds to the "Continue" form post on this screen. Instead of a Boolean, the client sent back the actual email address and the server accepted arbitrary values.

Have you written a response to this? Let me know the URL:

  Now that I'm writing this out, I realize that the client also sends back the "name" here, intentionally, since the name is user-editable. So I can see how this happened. It's just extremely poor coding practice to essentially also allow the email to be editable here.
