Developed a back-end attachment scanning feature for the ngageoint/mage-server repository, integrating ClamAV to detect malware in uploaded files. The implementation used Node.js, Express.js, and Docker, with configuration managed through environment variables to ensure the new functionality remains opt-in and does not disrupt existing workflows. A proof-of-concept toast notification was added to provide immediate feedback on scan results, enhancing visibility for users. The work focused on security best practices, enabling safe deployment to test or production environments when configured. This feature improved the server’s security posture while maintaining operational stability and clear communication of scan outcomes to stakeholders.
April 2026: Delivered Back-End Attachment Scanning with ClamAV for ngageoint/mage-server. The feature is opt-in via environment variables, ensuring no impact on normal operations unless explicitly enabled. Included a proof-of-concept toast notification to surface scan outcomes. The changes were merged in PR #408 (Commit 31121da9e0c82e38f0f6c926434557d33c4788ff) with guidance that it is safe to deploy to test or production when configured. This work enhances security by detecting malware in attachments with minimal operational risk and provides clear visibility into scan results.
