The file was detected as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, indicating it is likely a phishing or malware delivery attempt. The presence of embedded URLs, despite some being marked as benign, suggests an attempt to redirect the user to malicious content or download further payloads. The PDF structure itself contains suspicious elements, contributing to the malicious verdict.

  • 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.
