restrict .bmp, .exe, .bat attachment types while uploading for an issue in JIRA

Is there anyway to restrict the attachments of types - .bat/.exe/.bmp, etc to be restricted while user trying to upload them in JIRA.

I tried using the Servlet-Filter plugin module in JIRA. But I am not able to get the URL at the time of uploading the attachment. Also I am trying to listen to the Attachment event for an issue.

Is there any other alternative of restricting these file types.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Well there was an Attachment Filter available but I am not sure if it is still relevant - it actually seems that it is no longer relevant also if I recall correctly it was for Confluence. So you're left with writing a custom plugin for this.

You could implement com.atlassian.jira.issue.AttachmentManager, the default implementation is com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultAttachmentManager and wrap it so that you check what's going on with the upload - filetype etc. But be sure to check the mime-type - not only the file name and/or extension. Check this out.
