Concept: Anti-Virus Scan for File Upload
To prevent customer systems from potential exploitation, Adaptive Planning provides for secure uploading, processing, and downloading of files. The application:
- Scans all uploaded files for viruses provided they're not larger than 50 MB.
- Validates file extensions against the list of allowed file extensions as set by the administrator in General Setup.
- Validates file content to ensure that the uploaded files use correct format and contain the expected data.
Users can upload files while completing tasks such as these:
- Adding company logo images under visual preferences.
- Adding avatars to their user profiles.
- Attaching documents to process tasks.
- Uploading idP certificates.
- Uploading files as reports.
Upon upload attempt, Adaptive Planning scans the files using industry-standard virus scanning tools. There's no guarantee that the tools scan all files or detect all viruses.
If a file is scanned for viruses, the scan can return these responses:
- Infected. The file is infected. Users can try uploading a different file.
- Invalid. The file isn't scannable. Possible reasons include:
- The file size is too large.
- The file format isn't supported.
- Failed. The scan didn't complete because of an internal error.
If the scan finds no virus in a file, no response is returned.
