PDF Link Inspector is based on the TLD,if i set  .io to TLD,it detected as: PDF file found with a malicious foreign URL

But I did not at .io to TLD,it is not found malicious foreign URL.

I hope it can be improved to any bad link in customs list,such as user can add below to PDF bad link

ipfs.io

badwebsite.com

phishingsite.com

 

Below is the phishing link

ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXTbGhMY4rMGTuRS4E6cdRBejwG7TRwJxcVDZMYnTwGxw?filename=AdobePDFfile2.html

The PDF inspector does multiple checks, which include:

  • Looking for Javascripts
  • Looks for URLs with tricks
  • URLs with blacklisted TLDs
  • Blacklisted URLs on the Internet

This is the reason why adding a TLD invokes this rule. However, it would also invoke if a blacklisted URL is encountered. Many URLs do not get blacklisted on the Internet right away. It is possible the message will get caught as spam if you run the same email through the simulator after some time.
