Cascade File Upload Without Validation
Critical file upload vulnerability after Cascade removed file validation. Users can upload arbitrary files including executables or malicious scripts. Files are stored in web-accessible directory and can be executed on the server.
This is a critical security issue requiring immediate attention.
Error Messages You Might See
Arbitrary file uploaded: malicious.exe
Path traversal attack: ../../../etc/passwd
Disk full: 500GB used by uploads
File executed on server
Common Causes
- Cascade removed file type validation - accepts any file extension
- Files saved directly to web root without sanitization
- Cascade removed file size limits, allowing disk exhaustion
- Filenames not sanitized - can contain path traversal sequences (../)
How to Fix It
Validate file types by checking MIME type and extension whitelist. Limit file size (e.g., 10MB). Sanitize filenames to prevent path traversal. Store files outside web root if possible. Set proper permissions so files can't be executed. Virus scan uploads if dealing with user files. Generate random filenames.

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.
