Security Concerns with Uploaded Images:

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all, 

are there any security concerns with uploaded images? 

My thought is that it wouldnt be too hard to have some kind of script
masquerade as a gif file, and perhaps cause damage.

I cant find anyway to check a file really is a gif/png/jpg (i assume the
mimetype available in $_FILES could be spoofed).

I'd welcome any thoughts in general on this, but specifically if anyone
has experience/knowledge in this area and can point me in the right
direction. 

Many thanks!
