email, when the text message will be interpreted, but not just
displayed. Would be funny to get compile errors or code executed when
someone just gives a snippet in a message.
AFAIK, unless is need for escape/unescape, those values should be taken
literally. Of course, having something in openser to detect/prevent
would be nice, but just as an add-on. Don't forget that some headers
bring nightmare after changing them -- although, in such cases, the
caller device won't care too much :)

Hi all,
I came across a security alert that basically embeds javascript in the
display name of the From to initiate cross-site-scripting (XSS) attacks.
Here is an example:
From: "<script>alert('hack')</script>""user"
<sip:user at domain.com
<https://lists.grok.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/full-disclosure>>;tag=002a000c
Thats a cool attack. I fear there will be more smart attacks in the
next time.

Grammatically , I don't see an issue with
this. However, under the right
circumstances this could get ugly.
Do you see value in having openser take a proactive role to detect these
and reject calls? Or is this outside the scope of what a proxy should
be doing (leave it to the UA to sanitize) ?
Looking to get your thoughts-
