How to Protect Against Uploading of Malicious Files to S3

[Antony]

My S3 Upload element on the front-end is limited to a certain list of file types:

image/*,.pdf,.doc,.txt,.doc,.docx,.xls,.xlsx

However this does not protect against an exe file which has just been renamed to have a file extension that is in this list…

Is there a Wappler feature that will check the file’s content is actually from one of the types in this list to prevent malicious uploads?

Thanks!
Antony.

No is the short answer. And to develop such a feature is not really a burden the team need take on as its outside of the remit of Wappler and its purpose. With regards to .exe files they are only a Windows issue. Being hosted on AWS they can’t execute anyway.
