MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is identified as malicious by a machine learning classifier and ClamAV, with the latter specifically flagging it as 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan'. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains metadata suggesting it was generated by wkhtmltopdf and references 'html and css books pdf free download', indicating a lure to entice users. The presence of numerous embedded URLs, many pointing to PDF files hosted on various domains, further supports a phishing or malicious content distribution scheme.

  • 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.
