Hi I just have a quick question about image uploading.
I'm creating a listing website where everyone can upload their new listing freely to the web.
Do I need to worry if someone try to insert a virus by uploading images to my wordpress?
Should I consider to use some protection plugin?
Please give me some advise. our competitors are always ready to do such things..

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There are various validations using which you can restrict the users to upload the specific extension images or restrict the image size. For such validation you can use Toolset form's hook: cred_form_validate
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_form_validate

You can also use any third-party security plugin that should help you to scan the virus for uploaded images.
