The Canvas module allow you to upload image files via a custom API.
The validation rules check the file extension of the uploaded file but not the file MIME type. This may allow a malicious user to upload a file that is not an image.
Certain web-server configurations may serve the uploaded file with its actual MIME type rather than an image type. This may lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) or other unexpected behavior.
