Why use Attachment Checker

While Jira’s in-built feature allows you to restrict unwanted file extensions for better security, there are some issues not addressed:

• Users can easily bypass the check by renaming file extensions

• Attachments uploaded through 3rd party apps are not checked

MIME type check

Attachment Checker helps to prevent extension bypass with 2 layers of checking:

1. Extension check – based on the filename of the attachment

2. MIME type check – based on the content of the attachment

Support for 3rd party apps

Currently, Attachment Checker supports attachments uploaded through the following apps:

1. Assets

2. Xray Test Management for Jira

3. Zephyr Scale - Test Managerment for Jira
