This message may be triggered by org.eclipse.scout.rt.platform.security.MalwareScanner.scan(BinaryResource), does the server log (probably ui server) show any error/warning messages?

Hi Matthias,

yes, in the log:
MalwareScanner - detected unsafe resource 'filename.csv'

found in doc:
All file uploads in scout are processed in the UploadRequestHandler.
This change adds the new @Bean MalwareScanner to the scout platform
enabling malware scan of all uploaded files using the in-place installed
malware scanner of the target server.
The file to be scanned is copied into the temp folder of the OS andhttps://www.eclipse.org/forums/#
assumes that the installed malware scanner has realtime filesystem check
active and therefore removes unsafe files immediately.

Is it possible to deactivate the scanner for the test?

the problem is fixed.
the creation of tmp file was not possible.
in MalwareScanner.java:
IOUtility.createTempFile("malware-scan", ".tmp", directory, expected);
the directory permissions was false for writing of file

The config property "scout.malwareScanner.path" can be set to a different folder if the default temp directory is not suitable. To change the malware scanner strategy entirely, you have to @Replace the MalwareScanner bean. (There is no "do nothing" strategy out-of-the-box because reducing security should not be made too easy.)

Regards,
Beat
