ThreatScams & fraud

Fake CVE proof-of-concept / security researcher lure — claims to share a PoC exploit or malware sample for a real CVE under a "responsible disclosure" deadline, delivering a ZIP/RAR dropper disguised as a research artifact. CISA 2026 PoC-lure advisory; Cofense red-team-lure campaign 2025-2026.

What this tier means

High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.

How Gorganizer detects this

Phishing / spear-phishing emails impersonating security researchers sharing a CVE proof-of-concept exploit or malware sample under a fake "responsible disclosure" deadline, delivering a ZIP/RAR dropper or credential-harvest portal. Three-part detection: (1) CVE-YYYY-NNNNN identifier, (2) proof-of-concept / PoC / exploit-download / malware-sample language or archive attachment, (3) responsible-disclosure / coordinated-disclosure / 72h-window urgency, no List-Unsubscribe. CISA 2026 PoC-lure advisory; Cofense red-team-lure campaign 2025-2026 targeting security professionals.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.

About the scoring engine

Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.

Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
