Security Threat?

    So far I'm very very happy with my Machform. One question I have is on the upload options for the form. Is there anything to stop threats from being uploaded on the server and then being activated? Can an intruder upload a virus with this method?

    Along those same lines, can I restrict the type of files to be uploaded to my server. Like .jpgs or .docs? What about only allowing .pdfs?

    Thanks

    I'm afraid MachForm doesn't have virus checking functionality. Since that would require dedicated antivirus software.

    However, MachForm doesn't send attachment to your email, instead it sends a download link which will prompt you to either download the file or not. So it protect you from immediately downloading the file into your inbox.

    I suggest to restrict the file type for your upload fields.

    To restrict the file type, check this post:
