Secure file field, which allows you to restrict uploaded file extensions. It may be useful for user-uploaded files (attachments).

This package adds model and forms field. What this fields does:

  • restricts allowed file extensions (for example: only *.pdf files)
  • checks file extensions is correct for sent content-type
  • checks sent content type is correct for file content (detects by libmagic)
  • checks uploaded file with anti-virus software

This project continues https://github.com/rvause/django-safe-filefield.

Installation

The package can be installed using:

.. code-block::

pip install django-safe-filefield-new

Add the following settings:

.. code-block:: python

Usage

Simply add field to your model:

.. code-block:: python

from safe_filefield.models import SafeFileField

class MyModel(models.Model):

   attachment = SafeFileField(
       allowed_extensions=('xls', 'xlsx', 'csv')
   )

.. code-block:: python

from safe_filefield.forms import SafeFileField

class MyForm(forms.Form):

   attachment = SafeFileField(
       allowed_extensions=('xls', 'xlsx', 'csv')
   )

Content type checking +++++++++++++++++++++

.. code-block:: python

class MyForm(forms.Form): attachment = SafeFileField( check_content_type=True )

.. code-block:: python

from safe_filefield.forms import SafeFileField

class MyForm(forms.Form): attachment = SafeFileField( scan_viruses=True, )

You can configure some ClamAV settings:

.. code-block:: python

CLAMAV_SOCKET = 'unix://tmp/clamav.sock' # or tcp://127.0.0.1:3310

CLAMAV_TIMEOUT = 30 # 30 seconds timeout, None by default which means infinite
