Recommendation: In general, uploads to Simplifier should be checked by a Web Application Firewall (WAF) virus scanner or by connecting an external virus scanner via ICAP interface in the configuration of the reverse proxy.
If a virus is found, the WAF or ICAP connected virus scanner should respond with an HTTP header status code to 409 (Conflict).
The body of the response (JSON format) should look like this:
{
success: false,
msg: "A virus was found in the file. The file cannot be uploaded."
}
The widget “FileUploader” is configured to process a status code 409 as a virus discovery.
