X-Pages: fileUpload control preventing unwanted files from being uploaded - xpages

I am using the accept property in the fileUpload control to only allow certain file Types and prevent uploading .exe or other potentially harmful files.
application/msword,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document,application/vnd.ms-excel,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet,application/ms-powerpoint,application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation,application/pdf,text/plain,image/gif,image/jpeg,image/pjpeg,image/png"
This works, however I am using a Tool called Burp Suite that allows me to intercept an acceptable file eg .txt that could contain harmful code and change the filename extension to .exe which is then upload to the X-Page database.
When I goto save the document and after Interception and changing to a .exe, I have added the following code to identify an exe file:
Can we manipulate what has been uploaded and change the file extension to a harmless .txt ?
var fileData:com.ibm.xsp.http.UploadedFile =facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest().getParameterMap().get(getClientId('fileUpload1'));
if (fileData != null) {
var tempFile:java.io.File = fileData.getServerFile();
// Get the path
var filePath:String = tempFile.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath();
// Get file Name
var fileName:String = tempFile.getParentFile().getName();
// Get the Name of the file as it appeared on the client machine - the name on the server will NOT be the same
var clientFileName:String = fileData.getClientFileName();
}
var fileRight = clientFileName.slice(-4);
if (fileRight == ".exe")
{
//facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest().getParameterMap().get(getClientId('fileUpload1').replace(".exe",".txt"))
//facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest().getParameterMap().get(getClientId('fileUpload1').remove(".exe",0))
}

Yes, you can. You have on the properties of control two options 'Use original file name of uploaded file' and 'Replace file name of uploaded file...' where you can put name with extension 'name.txt' . I didn't try to change only extension... That is probably better in code to replace.

How to avoid performing a firebase function on folders on cloud storage events

I'm trying to organize assets(images) into folders with a unique id for each asset, the reason being that each asset will have multiple formats (thumbnails, and formats optimized for web and different viewports).
So for every asset that I upload to the folder assets-temp/ is then moved and renamed by the functions into assets/{unique-id}/original{extension}.
example: assets-temp/my-awesome-image.jpg should become assets/489023840984/original.jpg.
note: I also keep track of the files with their original name in the DB and in the original's file metadata.
The issue: The function runs and performs what I want, but it also adds a folder named assets/{uuid}/original/ with nothing in it...
The function:
exports.process_new_assets = functions.storage.object().onFinalize(async (object) => {
// Run this function only for files uploaded to the "assets-temp/" folder.
if (!object.name.startsWith('assets-temp/')) return null;
const file = bucket.file(object.name);
const fileExt = path.extname(object.name);
const destination = bucket.file(`assets/${id}/original${fileExt}`);
const metadata = {
id,
name: object.name.split('/').pop()
};
// Move the file to the new location.
return file.move(destination, {metadata});
});
I am guessing that this might happen if the operation of uploading the original image triggers two separate events: one that creates the directory assets-temp and one that creates the file assets-temp/my-awesome-image.jpg.
If I guessed right, the first operation will trigger your function with a directory object (named "assets-temp/"). This matches your first if, so the code will proceed and do
destination = bucket.file('assets/${id}/original') // fileExt being empty
and then call file.move - this will create assets/id/original/ directory.
Simply improve your 'if' to exclude a file named "assets-temp/".
According to the documentation there is no such thing as folders in cloud storage, however, it is possible to emulate them, like you can do by using the console GUI. When creating folders what really happens is that an empty object is created(zero bytes of space) but its name ends with a forward slash, also folder names can end with _$folder$ but it is my understanding that that is how things worked in older versions so for newer buckets the forward slash is enough.

Issue when exporting Google SpreadSheet to XLSX for sending by email

I have followed some steps for converting a Spreadsheet to XLSX. But when I try to open the exported and sent file, it says "file or extension not valid". Checking it as an HTML, it says "The file doesn't exist".
If I try the file URL used in the code, directly in browser, it downloads the correct file as XLSX.
Attached you can find a screenshot of the code and a screenshot of the downloaded html.
HTML result when trying to save spreadsheet in excel
Implemented code
Thanks,
I haven't done specifically what you are doing, but I have exported from google docs to other formats. I always do it by using createFile(blob) after specifying the blob name. Something like this:
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById('target folder id');
var doc = 'file name';
var blob = response.getBlob().setName(doc);
var file = folder.createFile(blob);
var fileUrl = file.getUrl();
Then include the fileUrl variable in your email.

How can I count the files inside a folder of project solution?

I want to develop a windows phone based application in which I need to put the number of files in a folder (this folder is already a part of the project) to a list so that at run time I can access those files. If anybody can give me idea of how to do that then it will be great help.
In normal WPF applications we can write code like
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("D:\\Tempo");
FileInfo[] fi = di.GetFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
MessageBox.Show(fi.Length.ToString());
But Windows phone inside solution how do I do that?
I can get a single file access by this code
if (Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("/WindowsPhone;component/Folder/file09.jpg", UriKind.Relative)) != null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Hi");
}
But inside that folder there are many files and I want to put them into list so at run time I can access those images. But the user won't be knowing about that so it should be a C# code, not a XAML code. Any help would be great.
It's pretty easy.
Make sure you add the specific folder to the Solution. Along with any files you want in that folder.
Make sure each file's Properties are set like so:
Build Action: Content
Copy to Output Directory: Do not copy
Make sure the application had loaded before calling
Lets say I had a folder called "Testfiles" and I want to read from it then:
private void PhoneApplicationPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ReadAllFilesFromFolder("Testfiles");
}
// TODO: recursion to get subfolders and files (maybe?)
public async void ReadAllFilesFromFolder(string folder_name)
{
var package = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation;
var assetsFolder = await package.GetFolderAsync(folder_name);
foreach (var file in await assetsFolder.GetFilesAsync())
{
// TODO: whatever you want to do with file
// string filename = file.Name;
}
}

How do you get the filename from the XPages FileUpload Control

In XPages, in the file upload control, after a user selects a file but before it's saved how can you get the filename? I'm not interested in the path as I believe that's not getable due to security issues but I would like to get the filename and extension if at all possible.
Thanks!
Actually you can get the file and fully manipulate it, read it, do whatever you want with it, its stored in the xsp folder on the server, to which you have read/write access... here is a code snippet that interacts with the file, I usually call from beforeRenderResponse...
var fileData:com.ibm.xsp.http.UploadedFile = facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest().getParameterMap().get(getClientId('<INSERT ID OF UPLOAD CONTROL HERE (ie. fileUpload1)>'));
if (fileData != null) {
var tempFile:java.io.File = fileData.getServerFile();
// Get the path
var filePath:String = tempFile.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath();
// Get file Name
var fileName:String = tempFile.getParentFile().getName();
// Get the Name of the file as it appeared on the client machine - the name on the server will NOT be the same
var clientFileName:String = fileData.getClientFileName();
}
It sounds like you are referring to needing to get the data via CSJS, which you can do with the following code:
var filename = dojo.byId('#{id:fileUpload1}').value.split('\\').pop();
These links should be able to help you.

Flex - how to download a string variable as a file to the local machine?

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).
Is this possible / how ?
I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;
var csvText:String=dg2CSV.getCSV();
var MyFile:FileReference = new FileReference();
var csvFileNameDT:String = QuickDateFormatter.format(new Date().toString(),"YYYYMMDDJJNNSS");
MyFile.save(csvText,"Encounters"+csvFileNameDT+".csv");
If you're in an AIR App you can use File.browseForSave().
If you're in a web app, you can use FileReference.save() . The FileReference docs have a lot more info on this.
In many cases, I would recommend using navigateToURL() to open the file outside of Flash and let the browser deal with it.
I'm not sure if there is a way to do this without user interaction.
