Antivirus false positives
Hi, ReadyNAS Antivirus is flagging a couple of files in the current version of WordPress, zxcvbn-async.min.js and wp-fullscreen-stub.min.js, but there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the...
Have you tried using the NETGEAR Anti-Virus Plus app?
Yes, I've tried the Antivirus Plus app many times. It's currently set to "Report and Block", with no options for whitelisting any files. Am I missing something there?
Hello gbeddow,
Are these the only JavaScript files you have stored to the NAS or there are other JS files that are not getting flagged? What's the current FW version of your NAS?
The AntiVirus and AntiVirus Plus do not have an option to white list files but maybe you can request this feature at idea exchange board.
Regards,
I'll look into the feature request idea, thanks.
Firmware is the latest 6.5.2, although it started happening a couple days before upgrading when it was running 6.5.1.
Lots of other JS files on the server, these are the only 2 that get flagged. virustotal.com thinks they're ok, and they're identical to the official WordPress repository versions.
Isn't there a channel through Netgear back to the Antivirus vendor - or directly to the vendor - so that future AV updates fix this type of thing for everyone?
Hello gbeddow,
Have you tried checking these files with another Anti Virus software?
From what I read, ReadyNAS has integrated Commtouch AntiVirus. I think this built-in AntiVirus is intended to just detect but no action.
