What it does

Attachment Extension Guard deletes attachments according to policies configured for Jira spaces. It can remove blacklisted files inside archives, detect double extensions, and compare visible extensions with internal file types. When an attachment is deleted, it adds an internal comment to the work item. An audit log records the deleted attachment, policy, uploader, and work item, and the log can be exported.
