[Bug 803229] Re: Some file formats allow extracting when file is not an archive

 

Setting this to "Won't fix" because it's a minor issue and someone
trying to extract the file in their own files area would see that it
would alter the files.

** Changed in: mahara

Title:
  Some file formats allow extracting when file is not an archive

Status in Mahara:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Mahara Version affected:
  v1.3, 1.4a

  When uploading an archive of .docx and some other file types (eg Adobe
  Captivate), Mahara recognises the file type incorrectly. Mahara allows
  unzipping of these files and breaks the files into individual
  components (eg XML metadata).

  When downloading the uploaded file, the browser recognises the file as
  a zip file, but the OS recognises the file correctly as a .docx
