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

The PDF file contains a direct link to a JAR file hosted on 'inspeciedesigns.com'. This heuristic, combined with ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7231471-0', strongly suggests the document's purpose is to trick the user into downloading and executing the malicious JAR. The embedded URL is the primary indicator of this malicious intent.

Heuristics 3

  • PDF link points directly to executable/archive payload critical PDF_DIRECT_PAYLOAD_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) URI whose path ends in an executable, script, shortcut, disk image, or archive extension. Documents can legitimately link to installers, so this is a high-risk delivery indicator rather than a standalone exploit fingerprint.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7231471-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7231471-0
  • 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.
