MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a PDF document that contains an embedded URL. Static analysis heuristics and a machine learning classifier flagged this PDF as malicious, with ClamAV detecting it as a phishing trojan. The embedded URL, while labeled as confirmed benign, is suspicious in context and could be part of a phishing attempt to redirect users to a malicious site. No scripts were extracted, limiting the analysis of the attack's execution flow.

  • 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.
