Encoding and Decoding Executable Scripts

Context

This report finds all resources containing executable scripts according to a specified scope in the Knowledge Management (KM) repositories. The report can optionally encode or decode the content of the resources. For encoding of executable scripts contained in the content of resources during the upload, you can use one of the repository filters. For more information, see Malicious Script Filter .

Procedure

In the portal, choose Content Administration KM Content Toolbox Reports Mass Operations .
In the Malicious Script Handler report, choose the type of execution:
- Immediate execution: Start
- Repeated execution: Schedule
Enter the name of the execution.
Only for repeated execution: Define and activate the schedule.

You can configure the following settings for this report:

Parameter	Description
Location	Select the repositories from the list that should be searched for resources containing executable scripts.
Maximum Results	The system terminates the search when it has found the corresponding number of items.

Parameter	Description
Script Tags	Comma-separated list of script tags to be encoded or decoded. The default value for this parameter is `script` .
MIME Types	MIME types of the resources to which the report is to be applied. The default values for this parameter are `text/plain` and `text/html` . Enter the required MIME type as it is specified in the MIME type configuration (for example, `text/html` ). For more information, see MIME Types and Symbols . You can apply the report to more than one MIME type. Use a vertical slash to separate the entries (for example, `text/html\|text/plain` ). Note Depending on the MIME handler service configuration, the entries might be case sensitive. For more information, see Mime Handler Service .
Encode	If this parameter is selected, in the result list the report displays the resources containing executable scripts.
Decode	If this parameter is selected, in the result list the report displays the resources with encoded content. Note When you select the Decode parameter for the resources with encoded content, you must not activate the Malicious Script Filter for the KM repositories of these resources. For more information, see Malicious Script Filter .

Note

When you select the Encode parameter, you should not select the Decode parameter and vice versa. You cannot select both parameter simultaneously. Only one of these two parameters must be selected.
