The attacker completely bypassed the threat model of the defender.

Ultimate Packer for Executables (UPX) is an open-source packer that can reduce the file size of an executable drastically (better than Zip files), and it is compatible with a large range of executable formats, like Windows DLLs, macOS apps, or Linux ELF. Vendors sometimes use packing to prevent basic reverse engineering or illegal redistribution. Packers basically take the original executable and add a small piece of code called a “stub” to the newly created executable.
