Comment (by Andrew8192):

 There's really nothing that I can do to redirect this kind of urls to a
 "not found" or 404 page? what if I we add a rule to redirect all the query
 requests that start with "/" example:


 {{{
 ?/
 ?/example
 ?/example/etc
 }}}

 Would it affect the other core functions?
