### Definition
Unsafe file upload refers to a situation where an application allows users to upload files without proper validation and security checks. This means that malicious users may be able to upload files with harmful content, such as executable scripts, viruses, or malware, directly to the server hosting the application.
### Risks
- **Malware Execution**: Attackers can upload executable files that, when executed on the server, can compromise the system. For example, a PHP shell script could be uploaded to a vulnerable web application. Once executed, it allows the attacker to run arbitrary commands on the server, potentially leading to data theft, system compromise, or unauthorized access to other parts of the network.
- **Data Breach**: Malicious files can be used to exfiltrate sensitive data from the server. For instance, a crafted file could be designed to read and send confidential information, like user credentials or financial data, to an external server controlled by the attacker.
- **Denial - of - Service (DoS)**: An attacker might upload extremely large files, which can consume all available disk space on the server. This can cause the server to crash or become unresponsive, preventing legitimate users from accessing the application.
### Solutions
- **File Type Validation**: Only allow certain file types to be uploaded. This can be done by checking the file extension and the actual file content. For example, in a Python - based web application using Flask, the following code can be used to validate file extensions:
```python
ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS = {'png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif'}
def allowed_file(filename):
return '.' in filename and filename.rsplit('.', 1)[1].lower() in ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS
@app.route('/upload', methods=['POST'])
def upload_file():
file = request.files['file']
if file and allowed_file(file.filename):
# Proceed with file upload
pass
else:
return 'Invalid file type', 400
```
- **File Size Limitation**: Set a maximum size limit for uploaded files. In a Java - based application, this can be configured in the web server settings or in the application code. For example, in a Spring Boot application, the following configuration can be added to the `application.properties` file:
```properties
spring.servlet.multipart.max-file-size=10MB
spring.servlet.multipart.max-request-size=10MB
```
- **Rename Uploaded Files**: Rename the uploaded files to a random or hashed name to prevent attackers from predicting the file location and exploiting it. For example, in a Node.js application using Express and Multer for file uploads:
```javascript
const multer = require('multer');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const storage = multer.diskStorage({
destination: function (req, file, cb) {
cb(null, 'uploads/')
},
filename: function (req, file, cb) {
const ext = file.originalname.split('.').pop();
const randomName = crypto.randomBytes(20).toString('hex');
cb(null, `${randomName}.${ext}`);
}
});
const upload = multer({ storage: storage });
```
