:: CODE DETAIL ::

- Vulnerable parameter:  email
- Vulnerable file:       includes/functions.class.php
- Vulnerable function:   CheckEmail($email)

- Vulnerable code: 
  function CheckEmail($email)
  {
    return preg_match('#^[a-z0-9.!\#$%&\'*+-/=?^_`{|}~][email protected]([0-9.]+|([^\s\'"<>@,;]+\.+[a-z]{2,6}))$#si', $email) ? true : false;
  }

- Fix code: 
    function CheckEmail($email)

        if (!preg_match("/^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$/", $email)) {
            // Email invalid because wrong number of characters in one section, or wrong number of @ symbols.
            return false;
        }

      if (@strstr($email,'"')
    or @strstr($email,"'")
    or @strstr($email,'>')

        {
           return false;
        }
        // Split it into sections to make life easier
        $email_array = explode("@", $email);
        $local_array = explode(".", $email_array[0]);
        for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($local_array); $i++) {
            if (!preg_match("/^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$/", $local_array[$i])) {
                return false;
            }
        }
        if (!preg_match("/^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$/", $email_array[1])) { // Check if domain is IP. If not, it should be valid domain name
