Release notes

MetaDefender Storage Security v4.3.1 (Hotfix)

Release Date: March 6, 2026

Version supported until September 6, 2027

Post-Upgrade Scans

  • Resolved issue that malformed scanning paths for active RTP scans and Scheduled Scans, that target partitions, on FTP, NFS, SFTP, SMB, and SharePoint On-Premise storage units
  • Resolved issue that forced RTP scans on NAS storage units to reprocess files processed before upgrade

Active RTP scans will be paused during the upgrade and resume automatically once complete. Files uploaded, created, or modified while the upgrade is in progress can be picked up by the running RTP scans after the upgrade completes by performing RTP report cleanups with RTP Handling with Comprehensive Detection enabled.

Performing an RTP report cleanup after enabling RTP Handling with Comprehensive Detection on the NAS storage units will reprocess all files, which may take some time depending on volume.
