One solution is to write an event listener component (for save event
for instance) that checks if an attachment is uploaded and scans it
using your antivirus API. Unfortunately the documentation is a bit
outdated
.
Maybe others have better suggestions.
Hope this helps,
Marius

Hi XWiki Devs/Community,
We're planning a deploy of XE on our Enterprise (a brazilian government
agency) as the main intranet tool, for about 400 heavy users (in thesis,
they'll generate a lot of content). We're sure that XE can handle it
smoothly and it will bring a LOT of help on the day-to-day work of our
office.
We're doing some optimizations and fine tunning for the deploy in
production. Meanwhile, we're facing some troubles with our workstations's
antivirus tools, which brings me some concerns about the attachment files on
the filesystems. Trying to address a potential problem (users using attached
files to spread infected files to other users and, worst, other government
agencies, which have also critical mission like ours), I would like to use
the same approach we use on our other systems we've built at home: calling
an AV engine (such as our cluster of ClamAV servers) from the webapp (we
already use some java API for this, on our web apps) to scan every file
being uploaded and before being attached to the wiki, and show some message
to the user, in case of some trouble.
I've searched for some plugin or initiative about this, but couldn't find
any. Is there any going on? If not, from where can I start and what should I
put under consideration, in order to
guide our dev staff to plug it in xwiki's core as a plugin/extension?
Forgive myself in advance if this information is located somewhere on the
documentation and I couldn't find it.
Best Regards,
