Improvements

ISL Conference Proxy - Core - Force download of all untrusted files (SECURITY) [ISLCONFPROXY-1808] More

Description

ISL Conference Proxy now forces download (save to folder) of all untrusted (user uploaded) files to prevent future XSS exploits based on file execution. The exception whitelist can be controlled with setting "Security > Allow inline download of unstrusted files (MIME type regex ...)". Default:

image/(jpeg|png|gif|webp) text/plain

It is not recommended to add MIME types to the whitelist without a good understanding of web security. For example, SVG files should never be allowed as they may contain insecure javascript!
