Feature request: Malware exclusion extension using wildcard paths

Post by jezmbi »

I have a some false positive malware detections for the extension .hidden. These all exist within subfolders of node_modules folders, the path to these folders can change regularly when new software versions are deployed.

I do not wish to exclude all *.hidden files in case of a real malware detection.

I would like the ability to exclude an extension if it is within any node_modules folder, eg. **\node_modules\**\*.hidden

I have also noted that when viewing the malware detection log suspicious_files_dd-mm-yy.log there are more entries in the logfile than I see in the UI.

Case: #07301191

Thanks

Hi Fabian,

I am also anxiously awaiting the ability to use wildcards in malware detection "trusted objects" settings. Any update on when we can expect that functionality?

On a related note, I find it curious that wildcards are already supported in the "suspicious files" settings. Why wildcard support for inclusions, but not exclusions?

Thanks
