Description
This article explains how to detect QR-coded URL categories in the body of an email.
Scope
FortiMail v7.2.
Solution
QR codes can be scanned to direct users to websites associated with the codes.
It is possible to enable QR code URL scanning, which queries the websites associated with the QR codes on FortiGuard and takes action depending on the URL category.
Run the following configuration to enable this feature:
config antispam settings
set qr-code-url-scan-status enable
end
Note: Starting from the v7.4.0 release, a new feature 'QR Code URL in Attachment' added a QR code URL scan in the email attachment. Only inline QR codes were scanned before.
