The report describes a practical anti-analysis trick used by at least one malware developer: placing a large comment header containing policy-triggering or forbidden text at the top of a JavaScript payload so that AI-based scanners or analyst copilots, which ingest the file start, may refuse, misclassify, or become confused. The real obfuscated malware begins after the comment; the technique targets weak LLM-first pipelines and is not a complete bypass of traditional static or behavioral detection methods.
