Hi there,

Thanks for your post. I don’t think it’s possible to attach a virus to a photo but I’ll forward this to a developer for clarification.

Thanks!

Hello,

There are many things that prevent this, a few exmaples are:
1. Pictures are not executable usually (the server would need to be set to do so, this is unheard of)
2. The JS won’t let anything but an image be uploaded
3. Our code will reject a non image
4. WordPress will only allow certain files and prevents things like PHP files being uploaded.
5. The uploads folder should not allow executions from within it, this would prevent even PHP files from running, this should be the case but is not always.
6. I test for things like this.

Thanks,

Stiofan
