The ABP Framework does not provide built-in antivirus or malware scanning for uploaded files. When implementing file upload/download using Angular and ABP, the framework handles file transfer and storage, but antivirus detection must be integrated separately at the backend.
To detect malicious files during upload, you should integrate a server-side antivirus scanning solution (such as ClamAV or a commercial antivirus API) in your application service or controller that processes the uploaded file. The Angular frontend cannot detect or interact with antivirus systems directly; this must be handled on the server after receiving the file.
The typical ABP file upload process involves sending the file from Angular to an app service (using IRemoteStreamContent or FormData). After receiving the file stream, you can scan the file before saving or processing it further.
Example (server-side, C#):
public async Task<Guid> UploadFileAsync(IRemoteStreamContent file) { using var stream = file.GetStream(); // Call your antivirus scanning logic here, e.g., ClamAV or other service bool isClean = await MyAntivirusScanner.ScanAsync(stream); if (!isClean) { throw new UserFriendlyException("Malicious file detected."); } // Save file if clean // ... }Review your backend file handling logic to ensure antivirus scanning is performed before saving or serving files. If antivirus scanning is missing or misconfigured, malicious files may not be detected.
