AURA: Adaptive Uncertainty-Routed Analysis for Email Threat Detection is a multimodal system that evaluates both email content and embedded URLs to detect spam and phishing. It uses a two-layer approach: first, a URL classifier estimates prediction uncertainty, and only messages with high uncertainty are passed to a fine-tuned transformer encoder for deeper semantic analysis. Evaluated on eight diverse training corpora and two real-world datasets covering a decade of attacks, AURA achieves a macro F1-score of 0.9858 in-distribution and maintains scores above 0.94 on the NazPhish-Eval and GuenterTrap-Eval datasets, demonstrating strong generalization to new attack scenarios.
