+name: Suspicious file delivery via HTML smuggling
+id: b93b5203-78da-4ffa-9b9d-4bd50b3eca1c
+version: 1.0.0
+description: |
+  Detects suspicious file delivery via HTML smuggling, a phishing technique 
+  where malicious payloads are embedded inside HTML files and reconstructed 
+  on the victim system using browser-side JavaScript.
+  Adversaries abuse spearphishing attachments for initial access while bypassing
+  traditional email and network-based security controls.
