MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The file was detected as malicious by ML classifiers and ClamAV, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. It contains numerous embedded URLs, with the primary one being 'https://botokaw.ru/strik?utm_term=how+to+read+a+birth+chart+astrology', suggesting a phishing or malware distribution lure. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to 'wkhtmltopdf' and 'Qt', indicating it was likely generated by a tool rather than being a legitimate document. No scripts were extracted, but the presence of external URIs and the overall detection profile strongly suggest it's a malicious PDF.

  • 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.
