It’s probably best to not change core files, because those will be gone when you update Cockpit to a newer version.

Instead, create a file `config/api/assets/upload.php` and put the code you wrote in there. It may need some alteration to make it work from there though.

I’m not a guru at all, I’ve only learned about these things recently: [Get list of unpublished items through API - #8 by witsec](https://discourse.getcockpit.com/t/get-list-of-unpublished-items-through-api/2609/8).
