Comment:

 Hi @pissio, welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

 As noted above, `rest_validate_request_arg()` is not the same as
 `rest_sanitize_request_arg()`. The former checks if the argument matches
 the requirements, the latter cleans it to remove potential malicious data.

 This Codex article might be helpful to better understand the difference
 between validation and sanitization:
