Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-48853 AV-MOVE-SVA-108 SV-61731r2_rule Medium
Description
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) encoded files can be crafted to hide a malicious payload. When the MIME encoded file is presented to software that decodes the MIME encoded files, such as an email client, the malware is released. Scanning these files as part of the regularly scheduled scans tasks will mitigate this risk.
