I can't share my CV but I managed to find the offending thing. It is a damn hyperlink to one of my professor's webpage (that isn't even functioning anymore ig).

The offending link: https://sandeepkgoyal.weebly.com/
Virustotal scan of the page: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/domain/sandeepkgoyal.weebly.com (completely clean btw)

I have also attached the typst file and the pdf generated with v0.14.2 of the compiler.

I am not even sure if this is a typst issue.

Probably not a Typst issue then ๐Ÿ˜…

i am seeing reports of gmail flagging weebly links present in any form in the mail

Probably a lot of phishing emails using them

#

it seems the difference is that LaTeX flate encodes it's stream while we don't

#

interesting that the scanner doesn't see through that

But you didn't use the same link

In any case this is unrelated to typst

Attackers leveraged Google Docs to deliver phishing links, redirecting victims to fake login pages hosted on Weebly - a legitimate, user-friendly website builder service.

but not nearly as agressively

#

i.e. text gets compressed, annotation objects not really

You can probably run your CV through a PDF compression tool to get it to work though unless that fixed file I uploaded also gets detected

left to external tooling
