What it means

Document asks the user to scan a QR code for HR, payroll, compensation, signing, or policy workflow.

Why it fires

Business-process QR lures move the malicious destination into the QR image, where normal URL extraction cannot see it. The rule requires both QR-scan language and HR, payroll, compensation, employee-handbook, DocuSign, or signature wording, and the two must appear within 800 bytes of each other so a long benign report that prints a QR code in one section and discusses HR in another does not match. The finding reports how far apart the two cues were.
