    • .href_url.query_params contains 'x='
  3. sender.email.domain.root_domain is not 'newegg.com'
  4. any of:
    • all of:
      • sender.email.domain.root_domain in $high_trust_sender_root_domains
      • not:
        • headers.auth_summary.dmarc.pass
    • sender.email.domain.root_domain not in $high_trust_sender_root_domains

Inspects: body.links, body.links[].href_url.domain.root_domain, body.links[].href_url.path, body.links[].href_url.query_params, headers.auth_summary.dmarc.pass, sender.email.domain.root_domain, type.inbound. Sensors: strings.icontains. Reference lists: $high_trust_sender_root_domains.
