File uploads present several security risks that could compromise your apps and users. Risks include the threat of malicious files, which can contain viruses, malware, or executable code designed to exploit vulnerabilities.
Due to the diverse range of risks, relying on a single method is not sufficient - a multi-layered approach is required, combining validation checks, metadata sanitisation, secure configuration and malware scanning.
