Tissue

A PHP library that scans your files for viruses. It does this by providing adapters for various virus-scanning software. Currently, the only adapter available is the ClamAvAdapter which, obviously, integrates the ClamAV scanner into your projects., _(*1)

NOTE: If your project is built on top of the Symfony Framework, you are much better off using the TissueBundle that was specially made for it., _(*2)

Documentation

Important

I highly recommend you to research the security issues involved before using any of these packages on a production server!, _(*4)

Although following the steps described in the documentation should be enough to keep most evil-doers from uploading infected files to your application, I can never give any 100% guarantee! You should take care in keeping your virus-scanner's signature database up-to-date, otherwise new viruses may get through. You should also keep in mind that there are many more ways to abuse uploads than just uploading an infected file!, _(*5)

Make sure your application cannot be manipulated to execute any of the uploaded files! Not even those deemed 'clean'!, _(*6)

For instance, if you were to keep files available on your web-directory after they have been uploaded, you better make sure that there is NO CHANCE that the file may get executed by your application in one way or another., _(*7)

A malicious user could simply upload a piece of PHP-code (no virus!) that will open your application up to a huge range of leaks. Again, that's just one of the reasons that you should not solely rely on this package protecting your site!, _(*8)

Read up on this subject before opening up your application to possible security leaks! I am not responsible for any damage done to your server or application while using this package!, _(*9)
