Audit. Detect. Protect.
Stop path traversal, zip bombs, and malicious file uploads before they hit your application logic. Add robust security validation using direct function calls or simple Python decorators.
Python File Audit protects your code from file-based attacks with one line.
Plug & Play Security
Drop standard decorators over existing file processing functions without rewriting application logic.
File handling is a silent attack surface
Most Python apps trust files too easily. Zip bombs, path traversal, malicious archives, oversized payloads, and special files (symlinks, devices, FIFOs) can crash services, leak data, or worse.
Zero Workflow Friction
Automatic extension detection handles CSV, ZIP, TAR, GZ, JSON, XML files instantly.
Get Started
pip install fileauditOne line. Real protection.
from fileaudit import validate_csv
@validate_csv
def process_csv(csv_path):
# your existing logic — now protected

Python File Audit for Commercial Applications
- FileAudit is safe for use in close-source applications. The MPL-2.0 share-alike terms do not apply to applications built on top of FileAudit.
