MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by ClamAV and an ML classifier, indicating a downloader. While the embedded URLs are benign, the document body contains a reference to a Microsoft URL, potentially as a decoy. No scripts were extracted, and the primary indicators point to a downloader disguised as a document.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Win.Downloader.DocInPDF-10008217-3 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Downloader.DocInPDF-10008217-3
  • 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.
