Question

Fortimail VM doesn't block executable/javascript in archives

Greetings,

 

I've encountered following problem - Fortimail VM doesn't block executable/javascript content type in archive files. Archive type - zip (not encrypted, contains single .js file). Both options (content -> File type filtering -> executable/javascript) and filtering -> scan conditions -> check archive content) are active (screenshot attached).

 

Firmware version - v5.1 b281

 

Thank you,

BR,

Tomas B.

    Solution is found - in addition ".js" must be declared in "Attachment filtering", otherwise it will not detect files in archives.
