Attending the DNN World conference I heard that using a .aspx in ones module can create a security issue. If that is true I'll need to look over a module I recently made where I used a .aspx to display an image within a jquery of the View.ascx.

Confirmation to that security issue and alternatives to my approach for displaying the image would be appreciated.

This depends on what you are doing, an ASPX page that you create is outside of the regular processing of DotNetNuke and is not automatically secured, or access controlled by regular DNN Security practices. Not necessarily a security issue, as long as you know about the limitations.

Well, I'm using the ASPX as a way to display binary images from the database. I have a div and set the background-image equal to that ASPX and pass a key into the query string and then ASPX retrieves the binary image from a database, re-sizes it, then writes it to memory.

I don't know if that is potentially dangerous or not.

Any security issue here is not just becuase it's an aspx. It will be becuase of the coding practices inside that aspx.

We cannot tell from your decstipion if this is safe or not. You need to review information about safe coding practices and see how it applies to what you wrote.

Best wishes,
