File Malware Scanner

Hello,

We are building an app where users are able to upload their own files to the app, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to ensure that a user doesn’t upload a malicious file to the system. Is this something Bubble does with all file uploads, or are there any third party plugins or APIs we can use to scan newly uploaded files for malware? We are already aware of one option (Scanii), but are still looking for recommendations or suggestions.

Thanks

I never heard about Bubble scanning the files we and our users upload.
I suggest you do it yourself if you think it would be useful for your app, any external integration would do :blush:

With some prodding I could build a server-side plugin around ClamScan. Just have to pick the best NPM source.

I know old topic but still very important.
sbassilios, what was your solution in the end?

Does bubble offer a best practice for this? I was not able to find any.

Probably check various virus scanner APIs and use them with the API Connector
