28. Use ClamAV to scan email attachments

Date: 2022-05-31

Status

Accepted

Context

Integration with Microsoft Graph has enabled users of the case management system to compose emails and add attachments. Attachments can be unsafe and should be scanned before sending.

Decision

Use ClamAV, an open-source antivirus engine to scan email attachments. The ClamAV Docker image is deployed on GOV.UK PaaS as an application and is accessed via its REST API. The virus database is updated automatically.

Consequences

Email attachments are now scanned for viruses before an email is sent out.
