Root Cause
A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules.
With the 'Select Files' option, the file is uploaded to the Service Export Directory on the server. This initiated the anti-virus run and the file is quarantined if it had a virus. In the 'Uploading file with 'drag-drop' option, the file is sent as a form parameter to the server. This skipped the anti-virus run because the uploaded file is not a physical file on the server directory but sent as a form parameter in the HTTP request (POST).
Resolution
