MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a shortened URL (https://is.gd/0uGPnK) which is a strong indicator of malicious intent, as identified by the PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI heuristic. The ML classifier and ClamAV detection further support its malicious nature, flagging it as Pdf.Dropper.Agent-7231586-0. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, also contains references to the shortened URL, suggesting it is the primary lure.

  • Clickable URI uses URL shortener medium PDF_URL_SHORTENER_URI
    PDF contains a clickable HTTP(S) action whose destination is a URL shortener. This hides the final landing page from static review and is common in phishing redirect PDFs.
  • 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.
