PDF_QR_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE — QR-code image-only phishing carrier

high PDF_QR_IMAGE_ONLY_LURE

What it means

PDF contains a QR-like image but no extracted PDF URI and little or no machine-readable text.

Why it fires

QR-code phishing can hide the target URL inside image pixels so static URL rules and reputation checks never see the destination. The detector is scoped to image-only or near-image-only PDFs that contain a QR-like image but no decoded PDF URI action, which is the off-band QR delivery pattern rather than an ordinary clickable PDF link.
