Allowing users to upload files to your web or API application can be inherently risky. This module focuses on understanding the various attacks associated with file upload features and other file I/O-intensive functionalities. It's crucial to recognize the potential threats and implement robust security measures to mitigate them.

Key topics covered include:

• Understanding File Upload Attacks: A comprehensive exploration of the types of attacks targeting file upload features, helping you recognize and anticipate potential vulnerabilities.
• Security Steps for Safe File Uploads: We'll delve into an extensive array of security measures designed to ensure the safety of uploaded files. These measures include:
• Filename Indirection: Implementing strategies to avoid direct use of user-supplied filenames, thereby reducing the risk of file path manipulation and related attacks.
• Lookup Maps: Utilizing lookup maps as a method to securely reference files, enhancing control over file access and management.
• Anti-Malware Strategies: Incorporating anti-malware solutions to scan and validate uploaded files, ensuring they are free from malicious content.
• Content Introspection Schemes: Employing techniques like image rewriting, which involves analyzing and possibly altering the content of uploaded images to prevent hidden attacks embedded within them.
• Coordinated Defensive Techniques: Ensuring that these complex defensive techniques are properly coordinated and integrated into the application's architecture. This coordination is essential for maintaining a robust defense without compromising functionality or user experience.
