Solution

Archive scanning might take longer resulting in scan timeouts

Archive scanning may take longer due to the Sandbox engine scanning both the original archive and its extracted contents separately.

Additionally, applying timeout settings effectively to large archives is challenging since each extracted file undergoes individual scanning, potentially prolonging the process, particularly with archives containing numerous or complex files.

Disable archive file types in Sandbox engine workflow.

MetaDefender Core will extract the archives with the Archive engine and Sandbox will receive the extracted files separately. This approach helps the Sandbox engine to effectively schedule scan tasks and apply timeout settings.
