  • PDF URI references command interpreter path high PDF_DANGEROUS_URI_COMMAND
    PDF contains a /URI action whose target uses a mailto/path traversal shape and references a command interpreter or scripting host. This is not a normal web link and matches legacy PDF command execution/dropper lures.
  • External URI low PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • 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.
