Unggahan file adalah fitur umum tetapi risiko keamanan yang signifikan — file jahat dapat menyebabkan eksekusi kode, distribusi malware, atau kompromi sistem. Mengamankan unggahan memerlukan validasi jenis file, ukuran, dan konten, menyimpan file dengan aman, dan menyajikannya dengan hati-hati.
Risiko unggahan file
Allowing users to upload files is dangerous if not secured:
✗ MALICIOUS executable/script files → could run on the server (e.g. uploading a web
shell / script that gets executed → server compromise)
✗ MALWARE distribution (files served to other users)
✗ Oversized files → denial of service (disk/memory exhaustion)
✗ Path traversal in filenames (../../) → overwrite system files
✗ Files with misleading types/content (a .jpg that's actually a script)
