=head1 NAME

ThreatDetector::Handlers::EncodedPayload - Handler for encoded payload attempts

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use ThreatDetector::Handlers::EncodedPayload qw(handle_encoded);

  handle_encoded($entry);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Prints a JSON alert for requests that contain suspiciously encoded characters (e.g. %2e, %3c) which may indicate obfuscated payloads or bypass attempts. Often a precursor to more serious attacks like XSS, path traversal, or command injection.
