Created by: acdlite

Use a whitelist to validate user-provided file names. This doesn't cover the entire range of valid filenames but should cover almost all of them in practice. Allows letters, numbers, periods, dashes, and underscores. Opting to use a whitelist instead of a blacklist because getting this wrong leaves us vulnerable to a RCE attack.

Should I submit a separate PR to the master branch?
