MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier, with heuristics indicating it contains a mass external PDF link farm and an embedded URI. The primary malicious URL, https://zajinet.ru/award?keyword=argonautika+script+pdf, suggests a phishing or scam attempt disguised as an award notification. While no scripts were explicitly extracted, the PDF structure and embedded links are indicative of a malicious document designed to redirect users to potentially harmful content.

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Phishing.Trojan-d2568dad23a94d95-d2568dad23a94d95-10044375-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION

  • Small PDF contains mass external PDF link farm critical PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM
    Small PDF contains many clickable external PDF links, mostly clustered on one host. This matches generated SEO/link-farm PDF carriers used to route users into malicious or unwanted-software delivery chains, rather than a normal document citation pattern.
  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action
  • Object number defined twice with different bodies info PDF_DUPLICATE_OBJ_BODY_INCREMENTAL
    The same indirect object (N G) is defined more than once with different body bytes. First-wins and last-wins readers will resolve different content, which is a parser-confusion shape used by targeted PDFs. Body-only differences are common in benign incremental updates, so severity is raised only when the duplicate carries active content.
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
