4. Malware Reports

Malware Reports track the output of antivirus or anti‐malware scans on servers. Common tools include:

Use Cases 
  1. Detecting Server Malware: A CLAMAV scan detects malware in email attachments. Security isolates the files and marks the report as "In progress" for further analysis.
  2. Rootkit Detection: A ROOTKIT scan finds hidden malicious processes. Engineers remove the infected files and mark the report as "Resolved".
  3. Scheduled Security Checks: Weekly malware scans report no issues. Security logs the "Found = false" status and archives the report.
  4. Emergency Malware Response: Malware is detected during a live incident. The security team performs an immediate investigation, quarantines infected files, and completes a system clean-up.
Table View

Total: (top-left) shows how many reports are in your system.

Filter launches a sidebar to narrow your list by:
Scan type (e.g. CLAMAV, ROOTKIT)
State (Not processed • In progress • Resolved)
Project
Search finds any term in server names or descriptions.
+ Add (top-right) opens the “Add malware report” form.

Columns

  Column Name ⇅ What It Shows
☑️ (checkbox) Select individual rows for bulk actions.
1 Server name Hostname or IP address scanned.
2 Project Link to the project/environment.
3 Scan type ⇅ Which tool ran (CLAMAV, ROOTKIT, etc.).
4 Vulnerabilities ⇅ “Detected” or “Not found” based on scan.
5 Created at ⇅ When the report was first logged.
6 Updated at ⇅ When any field was last changed.
7 State ⇅ Processing status (Not processed, etc.).

Editing Reports

Edit: Click the ✏️ icon in the Actions column to open the side-panel. You can change Server name, Scan type, State, Malware found, or update the Description. Then hit Save.

If action is required, they set the State to “Processed” or “Not Processed.”

Filtering Malware Reports

To narrow down the list of malware reports, use the Filter panel available at the top of the Malware Reports table.
To open filters, click Filter in the upper-left corner of the table. A sidebar will appear with the following options:

State
Filter reports by their processing status:

  1. Not processed

  2. In progress

  3. Resolved

This helps track which reports still require investigation versus those already handled.

Scan type
Limit results to reports generated by a specific malware detection tool, such as:

  1. CLAMAV

  2. ROOTKIT

Vulnerabilities
Use these checkboxes to control whether reports with or without detected threats are shown:

  1. Show issues with detected vulnerabilities

  2. Show issues without detected vulnerabilities

This is useful for quickly isolating confirmed incidents or reviewing clean scan results.

After selecting the required parameters, click Save to apply the filters.
To change the filter set, reopen the panel and adjust the selected values.
