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

Installation
------------

The package can be installed using:

.. code-block::

   pip install django-safe-filefield


Add the following settings:

.. code-block:: python

   INSTALLED_APPS += [
       'safe_filefield',
   ]


**django-safe-filefield** requires `libmagic` to be installed.

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')
       )

Or directly to your form:

.. code-block:: python

   from safe_filefield.forms import SafeFileField

   class MyForm(forms.Form):

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

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

To check actual file content type, use `check_content_type` argument. This
will prevent attacker from uploading malicious file just by changing its
extension.

.. code-block:: python

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

ClamAV support
++++++++++++++

.. note:: To use this functionality you should have `clamd` daemon.

This package has ability to check uploaded file with ClamAV antivirus.

To use anti-virus protection simply enable it in your form or model definition:

.. 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
