s3-presigned-urls-upload

s3-presigned-urls-upload is a cursor rule for Cursor from GoranErhartic/cursor-development-rules. It costs 16 tokens per session (354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for letting users upload files directly to Amazon S3, AWS's object-storage service, through temporary signed links. It covers file types, size limits, naming, access, and checks after upload.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building an S3 upload flow with a client, server-side validation, and private storage.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsafe uploads, public files, path-traversal attacks, and URLs that stay valid too long.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

s3-presigned-urls-upload scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

S3 Presigned URLs (Upload)

Security

  • Allowed types: Whitelist MIME types and extensions; enforce max size per type; reject unknown types
  • Expiration: Short (5–15 min) for upload URLs
  • Key generation: Server-generated key (e.g. uploads/{userId}/{uuid}/{filename}); sanitize client filename; no path traversal
  • Validation: After upload, validate content-type (e.g. with file-type) and size server-side; do not trust client headers only
  • Bucket: Private; access only via presigned URL or Lambda with IAM

Implementation

  • Client: @aws-sdk/client-s3, @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner; PutObjectCommand with Key, ContentType, ContentLength (optional but recommended); sign with getSignedUrl(client, command, { expiresIn })
  • Handler: Validate user/auth; check requested ContentType and size against allowlist; generate key; return presigned URL and key to client
  • Post-upload: Client notifies API (key, optional hash); API validates object in S3 (headObject, content-type/size) and then processes

Conventions

  • Always allowlist types and size; short expiry; server-generated keys; post-upload validation

Anti-Patterns

  • Client-supplied key without sanitization; no MIME/size validation; long expiry; public bucket

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
