Hello, been crowd sourcing about this. Has anyone implemented an antivirus scan in every file upload using Next? I badly needed some help about this. If anyone knows, please share your implementation and insights on how you did it.

@fading star In frontend only allow specific file extensions like(.pdf,.png etc.) with limitations like size.

#

not sure why you'd want to virus scan on your frontend though.

however this google security flag is becoming a nightmare

#

I got this in google

#

and they ask to scan our code using Fortify ScanCentral and unfortunately failed after two scans so we got to answer a lot of survey questions

#

we responded and still got more follow up questions

#

and they explicitly asking that for file upload it should have Antivirus scan performed

#

(Note: As per the acceptance criteria Antivirus scans should be performed prior to upload or serving of content.)

#

so yeah Idk what I am gonna do now
