Allowing a website visitor, even an administrator to upload a file to the website must be treated with great
care, as even a responsible user may be tricked into uploading malicious code unknowingly. To allow general
users to upload files the developers must ensure that there are unbreakable restrictions on the type of file
and size that user is allowed to upload.
If a user uploads a malicious file the website will can be defaced, altered, spammed, deleted, data stolen.
If a user is allowed to upload a large file, then this can put strain on the web server which can cause the website
to crash constantly.
WebSafe will test for Unrestricted File Upload:
By attempting to upload harmless files of particular types and sizes our technicians will be able to grade the severity
of the upload process.
