🔧 Temporary Workarounds
File Upload Restriction
allImplement strict file type validation and whitelist acceptable file extensions
Modify upload handler to check file extensions and MIME types
Implement file content validation
Web Server Configuration
linuxConfigure web server to prevent PHP execution in upload directories
