I had a similar question from my security group at one point.  I told them if 
we were that paranoid we should go back to paper for everything and if they 
needed to solve that dilemma they needed to shut down Remedy and find another 
system.  They backed off fairly quick.

Of course this comes with a disclaimer of 'don't try this at home'.  Worked for 
me that time, but don't think I can overuse the attitude.

Subject: security risk with attachment - Any ideas?

HI all,

I am hoping that someone else on the list had to face this growing 
security concern and found a way to do this. 
This is the concern that came back from a security audit:

"Attachment are not being scanned at the server level and the application 
can only rely on the fact that the user may or may not use a scanning 
system (anti-virus for example). This does not prevent user to willingly 
add a malicious file.  The files should be scanned to stop SVG files to be 
uploaded at the server level."

I know I can have an API that would run on the server and would look at 
the tickets created and if there is an attachment, to extract it and scan 
it etc.  But any one has a better idea?  Or knows of some utility that is 
already out there that could do this?


Thank you,

Pascale 
Kenavo ar wech all
