I am making an image upload function which I can re-use in my code, which has to be 100% secure. Please tell me if you can spot and security holes in my initial code;
JavaScript
x
function Upload($file)
{
list($width,$height,$type,$attr) = getimagesize($file);
$mime = image_type_to_mime_type($type);
if(($mime != "image/jpeg") && ($mime != "image/pjpeg") && ($mime != "image/png"))
{
return 'Error3: Upload file type un-recognized. Only .JPG or .PNG images allowed';
}else{
$Newname = md5('sillysalt'.time());
if (move_uploaded_file($file, 'images/'.$Newname.$type))
{
return 'Uploaded!';
}else{
return 'Server Error!';
}
}
}
UPDATE This is how far I’ve gotten with your help and some research, please tell me what you think. I don’t mind much about the speed, for me it’s all about being 100% secure, or as close to.
JavaScript
function Upload($file)
{
list($width,$height,$type,$attr) = getimagesize($file);
$mime = image_type_to_mime_type($type);
$folder = 'images/';
// mime checks add a layer of security that keeps out less sophisticated attackers
if(($mime != "image/jpeg") && ($mime != "image/pjpeg") && ($mime != "image/png"))
{
return 'Error3: Upload file type un-recognized. Only .JPG or .PNG images allowed';
}else{
// If the file has no width its not a valid image
if(!$width)
{
$Newname = md5('sillysalt'.time());
$finfo = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME_TYPE);
$mime2 = finfo_file($finfo, $folder.$Newname);
// Should I remove this second mime check? since the info comes form the same spoofable source in the image
if(($mime != "image/jpeg") && ($mime != "image/pjpeg") && ($mime != "image/png"))
{
$fileType = exif_imagetype($file);
$allowed = array(IMAGETYPE_JPEG, IMAGETYPE_PNG);
if(!in_array($fileType, $allowed))
{
// don't overwrite an existing file
$i = 0;
$parts = pathinfo($file);
while(file_exists($folder . $name))
{
$i++;
$name = $Newname."-".$i.".".$parts["extension"];
}
if(move_uploaded_file($file, $folder.$name))
{
// set good permissions for the file
chmod($name, 0644);
return 'Uploaded!';
}else{
return 'Server Error!';
}
}
}
}
}
}

Answer
As long as you don’t use the FileInfo
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.fileinfo.php) extensions from php to check the mime type, your function is not secure at all (think later you’ll want to upload pdf’s, excels, etc).
Also, md5 over md5 does nothing than increasing the collision chances.
L.E: Something as simple as the following should do it:
JavaScript
function getExtensionToMimeTypeMapping() {
