MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file was flagged as malicious by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV, specifically as Html.Spyware.IMG-7. A critical heuristic identified a hidden external HTML iframe within the PDF, suggesting an attempt to redirect the user to a malicious site. While most URLs were benign, one unknown URL was present, which could be related to the malicious activity.

  • 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.
