Your solution is still vulnerable in cases where someone's able to control [email protected]. Admittedly, that's a bit far-fetched, but the correct solution would be to have an enumeration of allowed emails and only accept those (or, more generally: whitelist things).

It's amazing that their web component is even allowed to dictate what verification addresses are permittable. That should be the concern of a completely separate component of their infrastructure. Says a lot of about their security architecture, I guess.
