📄 Validation of Uploaded Files

Validation of Uploaded Files

This enhancement introduces advanced file validation measures to ensure that files uploaded to Strato comply with system requirements. This process reduces the risk of uploading potentially harmful files.


Functionality

When a file is uploaded to Strato, the system performs the following validation steps:

  • The file type and content are verified to ensure that only approved formats are accepted.
  • Each file is scanned for malicious data and content.
  • If file's type and content do not match, it is quarantined in a secure location to prevent potential code execution.
  • Files with harmful or unsupported formats and extensions are automatically blocked from upload.
❌

Files larger than 6MB are excluded from the new validation process and are instead checked using the previous validation method.

Text-based files such as .csv, .java, .css, and .txt lack distinct identifiers, making them difficult to validate. These files are excluded as well.
