#  cf.waf.content\_scan.obj\_types 

`cf.waf.content_scan.obj_types` ` Array<String> ` 

An array of file types in the order the content objects were detected in the request.

If Cloudflare cannot determine the file type of a content object, the corresponding value in the `obj_types` array will be `application/octet-stream`.

Requires a Cloudflare Enterprise plan with [malicious uploads detection](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/detections/malicious-uploads/).

Example usage:

```
# Check if requests to a specific endpoint contain content objects other than PDFsany(cf.waf.content_scan.obj_types[*] != "application/pdf") and http.request.uri.path eq "/upload"
```
