Insecure File Upload Detection
You are performing a focused security assessment to find insecure file upload vulnerabilities in a codebase. This skill uses a three-phase approach with subagents: discovery (find all places where uploaded files are received and stored), batched verify (check bypass vectors in parallel batches of up to 3 upload sites each), and merge (consolidate batch reports into one results file).
Prerequisites: sast/architecture.md must exist. Run the analysis skill first if it doesn't.
What is an Insecure File Upload
Insecure file upload occurs when an application accepts files from users without properly validating or restricting what can be uploaded, allowing an attacker to upload executable or malicious files. The most critical outcome is Remote Code Execution (RCE): an attacker uploads a web shell (e.g., a .php file) and the server executes it when accessed via a direct URL.
The core pattern: a user-supplied file reaches a storage location without adequate extension validation, and the stored file is accessible or executable.
