[CKAN-Security] HTML file upload issue

Wed Oct 15 12:11:40 UTC 2014

Hi,

This is probably worse than it might appear to be, because even being in an iframe users are not protected by the Same Origin policy (as it has the same origin).
I’m not particularly au-fait with the storage code (although I did merge the extension in a while back) - Is setting Content-disposition for every resource the right thing to do?  Can it be removed entirely for 2.3?
