No scripts were extracted, but the presence of numerous external links suggests an attempt to lure users away from the document.

  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
