Validate Invalid Characters - Dash ( - )

I have requirement in my Organization SSO Login where, we have Corporate ID's which contain (-) in it. By tracing I found the Edit Validate: pyValidateInvalidChars rule is stopping me create Operator ID with (-) in it. 

Being this is a py Rule, I can override in my Org Ruleset, which is similar to what is suggested in below Post:

https://collaborate.pega.com/question/creating-operator-id-hypen 

However, I wanted to understand, are there any specific Security Vulnerabilities associated with this approach. 

Thanks!

Hi GUMUDAVELLY,

I am not aware of any security vulnerabilities with the approach, however it is not recommended as for the reasons in the article you cited. Here are a couple more articles that cite the same thing:
