Description

Hi devs,

Nextcloud offers the possibility to block zip files by mime type but I our organization it is important to block password encrypted zip files. Is there any rule for such a behavior?

best regards
Ralph

Research direction

The issue asks whether Nextcloud access-control rules can block password-encrypted ZIP files. No source files, tests, or entry points are named, so start by locating the app's MIME-type blocking and access-control rule handling. Done means establishing whether encrypted ZIP detection is supported and, if not, defining a validated way to block those files.
