@ -230,6 +230,14 @@ For example, say your ``MEDIA_ROOT`` is set to ``'/home/media'``, and
upload a file on Jan. 15, 2007, it will be saved in the directory
``/home/media/photos/2007/01/15``.
Note that whenever you deal with uploaded files, you should pay close attention
to where you're uploading them and what type of files they are, to avoid
security holes. *Validate all uploaded files* so that you're sure the files are
what you think they are. For example, if you blindly let somebody upload files,
without validation, to a directory that's within your Web server's document
root, then somebody could upload a CGI or PHP script and execute that script by
visiting its URL on your site. Don't allow that.
