Direct executable download link — .exe / .msi / .bat in an href
href-direct-executable-download
What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
An `<a href>` in the body points directly at a binary file — `https://evil.example/invoice.exe`, `https://x.example/setup.msi`, `https://x.example/loader.hta`, etc. Covers 15 Windows/Java/PowerShell/VB/WSH executable extensions. Legitimate companies NEVER link directly at a binary from email — they route users through a product page for tracking, AV scanning, and brand-safety compliance. Malware delivery campaigns use direct executable hrefs specifically to evade scanners that only inspect landing pages. The scope is strictly the URL path, so `.exe` in a query string or fragment does not false-fire.
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.
