MITRE ATT&CK
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample is a PDF file exhibiting a malformed JPEG2000 box structure and an unusually high stream count, indicative of obfuscation or heap spray techniques used to exploit a vulnerability. The embedded URLs, while benign, are present within the document structure. The primary attack vector is likely exploitation for client execution, potentially delivered via spearphishing.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier clean score 0.0004

Heuristics 4

  • Malformed JPEG2000/JP2 box structure high CVE related PDF_JP2_BOX_ANOMALY
    PDF embeds JPEG2000/JP2 data with malformed box sizes. This is a parser-exploit indicator for JPX/JPEG2000 CVE families, not a unique CVE fingerprint.
  • Unusually high stream count medium PDF_MANY_STREAMS
    PDF contains 501+ stream objects — may indicate heap spray or heavy obfuscation
  • 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.
