This affects all versions of package UmbracoForms. When using the default configuration for upload forms, it is possible to upload arbitrary file types. The package offers a way for users to mitigate the issue. The users of this package can create a custom workflow and frontend validation that blocks certain file types, depending on their security needs and policies.
The product initializes or sets a resource with a default that is intended to be changed by the administrator, but the default is not secure.

Developers often choose default values that leave the product as open and easy to use as possible out-of-the-box, under the assumption that the administrator can (or should) change the default value. However, this ease-of-use comes at a cost when the default is insecure and the administrator does not change it.
