Always implement and maintain robust scanning mechanisms for user-uploaded files to prevent malware distribution. When modifying infrastructure or services related to file handling, ensure alternative security controls are in place before removing existing protections.

Examples:

1. When removing an antivirus service like ClamAV: ```yaml

   Incorrect - commenting out without alternative

   services: appwrite: depends_on:

   • mariadb
   • redis

     - clamav # Security risk: Removed without replacement

Correct - either keep the service or document alternative

services: appwrite: depends_on: - mariadb - redis - clamav # Maintain file scanning # Alternative: Implement cloud-based scanning solution as documented in security.md

2. Ensure application logic handles scanning failure gracefully:
```php
// Verify uploads are always scanned before processing
if (!$scanService->isAvailable() && !$alternativeScanner->isAvailable()) {
    throw new SecurityException('No file scanning service available');
}
