Protection against viruses or malwares in files submitted in flows

In wxO, we can request to the user to upload a file that can be analysed by Orchestrate. For instance, Document Extractor and Text Extractor are proposed in the Flow Builder. In any flow that uses one of these components or imports a file from a user, we should be able to ensure that the file is not infected and raise an alert if this is the case.

    Because of GDPR or possible PII in documents uploaded from wxO chat, documents to scan must stay in the account and not sent to an external AV solution.
    If one of the document is infected, wxO should inform the user and log the issue.

    Great point — this is absolutely critical from a security and governance perspective.

    If we allow file uploads in wxO workflows (especially when using components like Document Extractor or Text Extractor), we should systematically integrate a malware scanning step before any processing occurs.

    Ideally, the flow should:

    • Scan the file upon upload

    • Block further execution if a threat is detected

    • Trigger an alert or notification for investigation

    This would significantly strengthen the robustness, compliance, and enterprise-readiness of our workflows.

    Thanks for raising this — it’s exactly the kind of thinking that helps us build secure and production-grade solutions.
