The PDF contains embedded JavaScript and is flagged as a malicious ML_NYX_PDF_MALICIOUS sample. It also uses a common screenshot lure, indicating it's designed to trick users into interacting with a link. The embedded JavaScript likely facilitates the redirection to the malicious URL, which is disguised within a seemingly benign URL.

  • External URI info PDF_URI
    PDF contains an external URL action

    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.
