[Bug 7940] New: URI_PHISH false positive

https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7940

            Bug ID: 7940
           Summary: URI_PHISH false positive
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: spamassassin
          Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
          Reporter: nextgenappsllc@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: Undefined

I am getting the following result in confirmation emails URI_PHISH=3.717 when I
include both text and html. When I just do html I do not get the URI_PHISH
positive. From my understanding this is to prevent links with text that tries
to trick the user like:

<a href="http://evil-website.com/some_phishing_form">https://paypal.com</a>

Mine does not do that. The same exact link does not get marked as URI_PHISH if
I exclude the text template. See below example email:

Maybe but I also used mail-tester.com which I get a tiny mark down for using
html but no URI_PHISH positive unless I send the multipart one.

Either way why would this link show positive for uri phishing? It's a false
positive

Ok so it seems the confirmation email gets flagged but the reset password one
does not. Even though being very similar and there are no phishing urls:

I do not see any X-Spam- headers in the second email. This makes me suspect
that it was not scanned by SA.

--- Comment #6 from John Hardin <jh...@impsec.org> ---
It's not based on "phishing URLs" or the specific link, it's based on having
body text that looks like account phishing and having a URL.

The body text that looks suspiciously like phishing is, unsurprisingly,
"confirm your account".

The reason one version hits and the other does not is, the rule is looking for
multiple phishing text fragments, and the repetition of that text in the
plain-text and HTML body parts unfortunately counts double.

> X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.717 tagged_above=2 required=6.2

As Loren said, this is not a FP, as the total score for the message did not
exceed the spam threshold. This is a single-rule hit on spammy-looking content
without other signs to support it. That happens.

It is not a bug that a given rule will hit some ham.

The only suggestion I can offer is that you reword your message to make it look
less like phishing. Perhaps:

  Please confirm that you created an account on our service using that email
address by clicking this link: <a mumble>Confirm new account</a>

> X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.6 required=5.0 

So? The test is hitting, but it isn't nearly enough to mark it as spam. 
It takes 5 points to be a spam, and this only gets 3.6 total from several rules
hitting.

BTW, URIBL_BLOCKED indicates a configuration error on the system doing the mail
checking.

Also: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.2 (2018-09-13)

The current version of SA is 3.4.6, and is about 3 years newer than the version
running on the test system. There have been quite a few fixes since 3.4.2.
