Build Artifacts
Build artifacts persist data after a job is completed. They can be used for longer-term storage of your build process outputs. For example, when a Java build/test process finishes, the output of the process is saved as a .jar file. CircleCI can store this file as an artifact, keeping it available long after the process has finished.
Safe and Unsafe Content Types
By default, only pre-defined artifact types are allowed. This protects users from uploading, and potentially executing malicious content. The 'allowed-list' is as follows:
| Category | Safe Type |
|---|---|
Text |
Plain |
