Issue
In the default Liferay portal, we have a property called dl.file.extensions= or (OSGi configuration properties in 7.1) that allows administrators to restrict the types of files that may be uploaded.
However, this configuration does not apply to the separate Knowledge Base portlet, and there currently is no method to restrict certain file types from being uploaded into the Knowledge Base.
