MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 User Execution: Malicious File

This PDF document was flagged by multiple heuristics as malicious, including a specific rule for browser extension installation lures. The ML classifier also assigned a high probability of maliciousness. The document likely aims to deceive the user into downloading and installing a malicious browser extension or update, which is a common method for credential theft or further malware deployment. No scripts were extracted, and the document body was unreadable, but the presence of the SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE heuristic strongly indicates a phishing or social engineering attack.

  • Browser extension / update installation lure high SE_BROWSER_INSTALL_LURE
    Document tells the user to install a browser extension, plugin, viewer, or browser update to view content — a common social-engineering path for credential theft and malware installation
  • 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.
