------------------------------
Verdict: Verdict.FLAG
Risk Score: 0.45
Findings: 3
------------------------------
[Severity.MEDIUM] DOCX contains embedded objects
What this means : This DOCX has another file packaged inside it. Most of
the time these are benign (charts, embedded spreadsheets),
but attackers also use them to smuggle malware past
email scanners that only look at the outer DOCX.
Under the hood : word/embeddings/* contains a non-text payload —
could be an Equation, Excel sheet, OLE object, or
binary file. Review the evidence list for the
embedded filenames.
[Severity.MEDIUM] DOCX contains external relationships (links/resources)
What this means : This DOCX references content stored outside the file
itself — for example, a template at a URL, or an
embedded image hosted on a remote server. Most of these
are benign hyperlinks; only links to non-standard
schemes (javascript:, data:, file:, ...) are flagged
as actively malicious.
Under the hood : Word relationships file (word/_rels/...) carries
TargetMode="External" entries. See the evidence list
for the actual target URLs.
[Severity.LOW] Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Detected
What this means : This document contains personally identifiable
information (PII) — things like phone numbers, email
addresses, account numbers, or government IDs. ...
Verdict semantics (0.4.4+)
Notice the verdict above is FLAG, not BLOCK — despite the multiple findings. Under the class-based verdict model, BLOCK requires definitive evidence (YARA hit, EICAR, javascript: URI, embedded executable, etc.); the heuristic findings here only escalate to FLAG. See Risk Scoring & Verdict Model.

# For Custom/Other (e.g., Sophos, Windows Defender)
# generic_cli_command: "sophos_scan --file {path}"
# generic_cli_infected_codes: [1, 2]
# --- Limits & Timeouts ---
# All per-stage timeouts default to 5 minutes (300_000 ms). These absorb
# cold-start ML model loads on the first scan after process boot and
# accommodate larger production documents.
limits:
max_mb: 10 # Max file size
fast_scan_timeout_ms: 300000 # Raw-bytes fast-scan stage
parse_timeout_ms: 300000 # Deep-scan parse stage (Docling / fallback)
format_checks_timeout_ms: 300000 # Format-specific checks (active content / obfuscation)
detectors_timeout_ms: 300000 # Detector pipeline (includes ML layers)
antivirus_timeout_ms: 300000 # External AV engine call
docling_subprocess_timeout_s: 270 # Hard SIGKILL on the Docling subprocess.
# MUST be < parse_timeout_ms/1000 so the
# thread can clean up before asyncio cancels.
# Device for Docling model inference. Default is platform-aware:
# - "cpu" on macOS (avoids MPS float64-unsupported crash)
# - "auto" elsewhere (Docling picks CUDA / XPU when available)
# Override values: cpu | auto | cuda | cuda:N | mps | xpu
# docling_device: auto
# --- Risk-Score Bands (NOT verdict gates as of 0.4.4) ---
# Since 0.4.4 the scan verdict (ALLOW / FLAG / BLOCK) is derived from the
# verdict_class of each Finding, NOT from risk_score crossing a threshold.
# The values below are still honored as dashboard band labels but no
# longer change which files BLOCK. See concepts/risk-scoring for details.
thresholds:
deep_scan_trigger: 0.20 # Fast-scan score to trigger deep parse
flag: 0.25 # Dashboard "notable" band lower bound
block: 0.70 # Dashboard "severe" band lower bound

7. Advanced ML Scanners Isolation (Offline AI)
In testing architectures or when performing data forensics, you might want to bypass standard parsers and evaluate a document specifically using the offline Deep Learning modules (BERT/Aho-Corasick/TF-IDF) without any API calls.
"""
Example 8: Advanced ML Scanners
This example shows how to configure DocFirewall to:
- Test the new advanced local ML and heuristic scanners independently
- Turn OFF the traditional scanners to isolate the ML performance
- Enable Aho-Corasick, BERT, TF-IDF, and Shannon Entropy evaluation
